Hi,

Does anyone know how activate the 'Time to display recovery options when
needed' setting and change the default time using scripting? (My Computer ->
Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery).

Alternatively, are these settings stored in a file somewhere, like the list
of operating system are stored in Boot.ini?

Regards,
Jørn

Hi

I haven't found a WMI property for this setting, and monitoring registry and
file changes with regmon/filemon from www.sysinternals.com it looks like this
setting is stored in the file %windir%\bootstat.dat (binary file).
