33 I've snipped it, but thanks very much for all the good info in your
34 post. Before your post, I'd gotten bogged down in bcdedit.exe
35 documentation, and that resentful attitude had overwhelmed me. You
36 post makes a lot of it clearer to me than Microsoft's documentation did.
37 I'll file it away for a rainy day when I tolerate wasting some of my
38 life on it.
