This is probably more time than you will ever need before a selection is made. In practice,
this value is typically set from 3 to 5 seconds. You can even set this timeout to 0 so
that the menu won??™t be displayed. To set the timeout period to 5 seconds, run the
following command:
Bcdedit /timeout 5
Simply replace 5 with whatever timeout period you want in terms of seconds, and it
will set it accordingly.
Setting the Tools Display Order If you go through the help menu for BCDEdit as well as
the boot manager configuration, you will see an entry for toolsdisplayorder. If you
recall the discussion about BCD objects, you will remember that not all objects have to
be boot loaders. In fact, the object can be any application designed to run during the
boot process. Out of the box, Windows Server 2008 comes with the Windows Memory
Diagnostic tool, which can be selected from the boot menu. For a typical Windows
installation, you would have only one item in the tools display menu, and that is for
the memory diagnostic tool designated by the alias {memdiag}. If Microsoft or a thirdparty
company builds additional tools that can be added to this menu, you can then use
BCDEdit to set the order by which these tools are presented in that menu.
For example, if a BCD object functioned as a tool with the identifier {073332d04-
e6b2-11da-b631-cdd1327cd703} and you wanted that tool to appear before {memdiag},
you would run the following command:
Bcdedit /toolsdisplayorder {073332d04-e6b2-11da-b631-cdd1327cd703}
{memdiag}
I hope you??™re starting to see a pattern here.
