[most]

Anyone who knows how to change...

"time to display list of operating systems" and

"time to display recovery options when needed"

with a registryfile?

Not 100% sure about a registry file however you can do this by right clicking my computer select properties - Advanced- Starup and recovery select Settings. You can do the same by typing in msconfig (in the Run box) and selecting Boot.ini.

Im sure you can create batch file if thats of any use to you.

those values are stored on "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\boot.ini" and you can edit it (at least display list of os, i've never touched the other one). line is "timeout=10" for 10 sec for example. also can be done with bootcfg command

bootcfg /Timeout 10

The bootcfg /timeout xx only changes the "time to display list of operating systems" .

Anyone knows how to change the "time to display recovery options when needed" via a REG file or a command ?

I found out that this setting is kept in %systemroot%\bootstat.dat in the byte at offset +9.

Is there anywhere a document that describes this bootstat.dat file ?

Is there an interface (besides the system cpl) to manipulate this file ?
