Hi!
(sorry for my english, but i'm from Poland)
My question is:
How to use BCDEDIT.EXE command?

1.How to change default system?
2.How to change name "Legacy pre-Longhorn..." to some "windows XP"
3.How to change timeout in boot manager?

I use a Win Vista Beta 2. He not use a standard XP boot.ini file. But i hear, if use this bcdedit command i change the startup information like default system or else.

Thanx for any help, Artur

Try logging in as Administrator.

After doing that I was able to run BCDEdit...

The rest of it you'll have to play with BCDEdit /?

I'm not really that familiar with the utility.
