VistaBootPRO is used to make changes to the Windows Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) registry quickly and easily, doing the job in a fraction of the time it would take using the alternative. The only other way to edit the BCD is to use the command prompt application "bcdedit.exe," located in the Windows\system32 folder of Windows Vista, which requires users to become familiar with the ins and outs of the bcdedit.exe switches and options, leaving many frustrated users in its path.
The Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Store has replaced the boot.ini file (that we have all worked with in Windows XP and earlier). In multi-boot scenarios where users have both Windows Vista and an older version of Windows installed, the BCD "interfaces" with the boot.ini file to perfect multi-booting.
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!
