After reinstalling Windows, it can
sometimes surprise you with a Boot
menu that you don't want.
You are asked to select from
two identical choices. This menu is actually of no use and can easily be
corrected. The Windows command-line tool BCDEdit allows for detailed
configuration of the boot menu but is complex and not self-explanatory. A
third-party tool like EasyBCD is recommended instead. You can download this
tool from www.neosmart.net/EasyBCD. To install and use the tool, you will need
administrator
rights so that you can
authorize the following instructions to select a particular user account and
enter its respective password, if required. For the setup, run the downloaded
file with a double click in Windows Explorer and follow the instructions. After
installation, start the tool with ‘Start | All Programs | NeoSmart Technologies
| EasyBCD | EasyBCD 2.1.1’. Confirm the following message with ‘OK’ to continue
using it. This notification will pop up only during the first time the program
starts. On the left side, you will see various options. Click on ‘View
Settings’ to view the current settings in the boot menu. To remove any unwanted
entry, click ‘Edit Boot Menu’ and mark the entry under ‘Entry’ and click
‘Delete’ and finally click ‘Save Settings’.TIP From the Control Panel of Windows 7 you can only
change the display time of the boot menu. For that, click ‘System and Security’
and then ‘System’. Next, open the left side of the following window: ‘Advanced
system settings’.
Lastly, go to the dialog box
‘System properties’ through the ‘Advanced’ section to ‘Startup and recovery’.
Click ‘Properties’. You might have to authorize it again by selecting a user
account with administrator rights and giving the relevant password.
