Windows
Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe). If you imagine that you can modify the boot options by modifying the Boot.ini with a simple text editor as in the previous XP system, it will not work. To modify the startup settings, you can only use the BCDEdit startup option editing tool (BCDEdit.exe) with a relatively complex command format. BCDEdit.exe is a command line tool that comes with the Windows 7 system. It is used to customize the windows boot manager, which is located in the X:windowssystem32 directory. (X refers to the system disk letter). Bcdedit.exe is powerful and has many parameters. The tools such as Easybcd are graphical bcdedit, and the functions they implement are bcdedit.
