For all those setting up a Windows XP/Vista dual boot PC, or anyone who wants to tweak the Vista bootloader. Or for that matter dual with Linux etc. have a look at EasyBCD (at present ver. 1.6).
Instead of using MS Boot Configuration Data Editor (a.k.a. bcdedit.exe) in Vista, or the simple options in System > Advanced system settings > Startup and Recovery, this one adds more options, as well as being more user friendly as it seems. As to user friendly, anyone remember Edlin in DOS?
EasyBCD is a freeware application.
