Removing Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 boot menu items (or the whole boot menu)

64 Comments »

1. Open command prompt (Win+R, then type “cmd” or just search “cmd”).

2. Type “bcdedit”. You will get a list of all items in boot menu.

3. Remember “identifier” field of the entry (system) that you want to remove.

For example: {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

4. The following command deletes the specified operating system entry from the
store and removes the entry from the display order:

bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}
The following command deletes the specified operating system entry from the
store without removing the entry from the display order:

bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} /nocleanup

5. After deletion, it there is only 1 entry left, boot menu will not be shown on next boot.
