How do I get rid of Boot to Old Window on startup?

Posted: 07-19-2006, 01:08 AM
Question. I deleted windows.old and thought that this might take care of
the option to boot to Old Windows (that is paraphrasing) as the system
starts up, but it has not. How can I get rid of that so the system just
boots straight in.

The easiest way is to download Vista Boot Pro and use it to remove the
option from this list.

Where is this feature in Vista? Before you could click a button to edit the
file, but now that button is gone.

Follow Jimmy's advice. BCDEdit is not an easy option to use.

Windows.old does not have anything to do with your boot options. Your boot
options are based on Vista Setup detecting a bootable non-Vista Windows
partition. Windows.old exists because you did a Custom Installation on a
partition that had a previous Windows system.
