bootcfg.exe

Is it good to use bootcfg.exe( in XP) in window 2000? and is it available?

 

Don't know for sure but the xp bootcfg.exe will very likely work on 2K.

However, I can't imagine anyone needing to change their boot.ini file often enough to need the program unless they were doing development or working with a large network or something.

While windows is running, the .exe won't do anything you can't do with notepad. Just a matter of setting boot.ini as other than a read-only file which just takes a second and un-hiding it which takes another second or two.

As a command line tool from the repair console it will do a number of interesting things - and most of them quite dangerous.

Out of curiosity, what has you so concerned with boot.ini the past few days?

Thanks, Newt.

You're probably correct. I have also edited it a few times w/o any apparent adverse effect. But boot.ini isn't a text file, it is more close to a HEX file, so I just afraid I may change something w/o knowing it.

Just plain old curiosity. In fact, if you're patient enough, see my next thread.
