Default Vista Boot Manager Problem!!


hi there all!

my fiances' laptop has vista 32bit on it.

when we start up the laptop, we get the boot manager, and it has three
options;

1. Earlier Version of Windows
2. Windows Vista( which is what we use)
3. Microsoft Recovery Console


My question is this;
how can we NOT have this at start up? I have already reduced the time
the boot manager screen stays up there via a post here but need help
please as it's anoying!!
regards,
rik

Get rid of 1. and 3 in the BCD.
Save the BCD:
bcdedit /export c:\BCDBackup

bcdedit
to see the identifiers for 1. and 3.

bcdedit /delete identifier1
bcdedit /delete identifier3
