    Boot Manager

    Recently, and for reasons I can't explain, Vista Boot Manager shows each time
    I start my pc. I only have Vista installed, and the only option given is to
    select Vista Home. I'm looking for a way to eliminate the Vista Boot Manager
    stopping point so that my pc boots directly into Vista. Can anyone offer an
    fix?



    Thanks
    Walt

    Try "bcdedit /?". May have to run Command Prompt as Administrator. There
    is probably some time out you can set.

    Hi Walt,

    Try, typing msconfig.exe into start search press enter accept the command prompt.
    This will open a new window, click on the boot tab, the new window should look like the attached picture.

    I hope this helps

    Re: Boot Manager

    I was able to eliminate the Boot Manager at start up by using the cmd line
    bcdedit with" /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no". Thanks everyone for your
    help.
