Winload.exe
winload.exe ay ang boot loader ng Windows Vista operating system. Ito ay tinatawag nang Windows Boot Manager para ma-karga ang operating system kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) at (boot-class) device drivers, and is in that respect functionally equivalent to (the operating system loader functionality of) NTLDR sa mga ibang bersyon ng Windows NT.

(Pansinin rin na ang filename na winload.exe ay ginagamit din ng isang parental control software program, ang PC Tattletale. Ang program na ito ay walang kinalaman sa Windows Vista startup process o sa Microsoft program na winload.exe.)
