Posted: 05-23-2008, 11:09 AM
Hi all,

does anyboody know how to obtain the actual "config"? is there any
API?

Or how to know the boot options of a booted system?

i.e. things like if is a safe-boot, vga-mode, baudrate, debug,
debugport...


Regards

Julián

In the registry under System\CurrentControlSet\Control there is a value
"SystemStartOptions" that contains the selected boot information.
