VistaBootPRO 1.0

We are pleased to let everyone know that VistaBootPRO, the program we've been working on for PROnetworks with support and input from members of the PROnetworks Betas Team and the Beta Testing Forum, is now available for download!

VistaBootPRO is used to make changes to the Windows Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) registry quickly, painlessly, and easily. The only other way to do so is by use of the command prompt application "bcdedit.exe," located in the Windowssystem32 folder of Windows Vista.

The Vista Boot Configuration Data Store has replaced the boot.ini file (that we have all worked with in Windows XP and earlier). In a multi-boot scenario where one has both Windows Vista and an older version of Windows installed, it "interfaces" with the boot.ini file to perfect multi-booting.

VistaBootPRO, while being a feature complete 1.0 and fully functional, is still a Beta app and is an ongoing project. Its continued development and functionality will need input from all Vista users. Please help us in our attempt to make your Windows Vista experience easier and better, particularly during the 'transition phase' during which we'll all be moving to Windows Vista, by using VistaBootPRO and giving us feedback on your experience with it.

VistaBootPRO can be used to make some basic "cosmetic" changes to the Vista Boot Menu in a dual boot scenario, such as renaming the entries from the standard "Earlier versions of Windows" and "Microsoft Windows" to nicer and for more intuitive names. It also has advanced functionality options of all shapes and colors for power users allowing the adding of operating systems to the boot menu and removing of redundant/dead entries, as well as a host of other neat features that we're sure you'll love!
