editing boot.ini

[jamesas]

Hey guys is there a way to add /bootlogo to the end of the boot.ini unattendly or even add a dupicate as the above on except with the extra command and new name

Have a look at command bootcfg...

[maxXPsoft]

bootcfg will only run during Recovery Console or Recovery unless I am mistaken

Yes there are ways to add things to boot.ini such as using using a vbs script or a ??I forget??.exe that wil modify ini's.

If you knew exactly what the line would read even cmd can do thaT with the Attrib -R -S and then using ECHO. A little involved but has been done.

U R mistaken Bootcfg is regular XP command

[MCT]

yep, u can run bootcfg at basically anytime, during windows install or while in windows

'bootcfg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I must be mistaken then about what that says.
