Install a second OS or manage your boot configuration without directly editing the BCDEdit file.
As you likely now realize, Windows Vista has made this task somewhat complicated for most users.
VistaBootPRO was developed to make changes to the Windows Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) registry quickly and easily, doing the job in a fraction of the time it would take using the
alternative. The only other way to edit the BCD is to use the command prompt application
“bcdedit.exe,” located in the Windowssystem32 folder of Windows Vista, which requires users
to become familiar with the ins and outs of the bcdedit.exe switches and options, leaving
many frustrated users in its path. VistaBootPRO allows users to easily and neatly organize their
boot configuration entries from within all flavors of Windows. So now that you know why the program might be useful for you and/or your business, you’re probably
wondering about the support for this application. PROnetworks was a community built on free support,
and VistaBootPRO is no different.
System Requirements:
Windows XP (Home, PRO, x64, MCE 2005), 2003 Server, Vista, or Longhorn Server. All systems must have
.NET 2.0 Framework

Designed for both beginners and advanced users, VistaBootPRO can be used to make “cosmetic” changes to the Windows Vista boot Menu such as changing the name of the Operating Systems shown in the boot menu and make advanced “functional” changes like adding an Operating System to the boot menu and repairing the Windows Vista boot configuration data. Advanced settings include backing up and exporting your boot loader configuration and modifying various details for the entries. Included in this latest release are additional features, including a built-in help file and more advanced boot configuration options.
For those who have had to use the command prompt based bcdedit.exe in the past, you will be impressed with the ease of use and functionality that VistaBootPRO provides.
Note that Windows Vista is still a beta operating system, so future changes to the operating system may make VistaBootPRO function incorrectly. Check back for future updates when new editions of Vista are released. Preliminary testing indicates it is compatible with Vista Release Candidate.
