We’ll show you how to get rid of old entries and speed up the boot process.
Note: If you’re still rocking Windows XP, you canremove items from the boot menu there too.
To edit the boot menu, we will use a program calledbcdeditthat’s included with Windows 7.
First, we need to open a command prompt with Administrator privileges.
pop pop the start menu and key in cmd into the search box.
Right choose the cmd program that shows up, and select Run as administrator.
In the command prompt, pop in in bcdedit and press enter.
A list of the boot menu entries will appear.
What we need is the long sequence of characters marked as the identifier.
Rather than bang out it out, we will copy it to be pasted later.
Right-click somewhere in the command prompt window and select Mark.
Press the Enter button.
This will copy the text to the clipboard.
Press Enter to input the now completed command.
The boot menu entry will now be deleted.
bang out in bcdedit again to confirm that the offending entry is now gone from the list.
You’ve shaved a few seconds off of the boot process!
Not to mention the added effort of pressing the enter button.
