Boot ChoOSer v1.1
(c) 1996 Matt Ginzton, MaDdoG Software
released 12/13/96
======================================
Boot ChoOSer is a simple utility to manage Windows NT's multiple boot manager
from inside Windows. You'll find it useful if you have both Windows NT and
another operating system installed on your computer, and frequently boot back
and forth between them.
Boot ChoOSer runs under any version of Windows NT or Windows 95. It will not
run under Windows 3.x, as it is a 32-bit program.
Installation
============
Right-click the ChooseOS.inf file (its icon is a notebook with a gear on it),
then choose Install. Boot ChoOSer will be copied to a new folder in your
Program Files folder. A shortcut to it will be created in your Start Menu,
in the Startup group. You can uninstall Boot ChoOSer via the Add/Remove
Programs control panel.
Usage
=====
On operating systems with a taskbar (Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0), Boot
ChoOSer will show up as a notification icon on your taskbar. Right-click this
icon for a list of operating systems you can reboot to.
On earlier versions of Windows NT, the ChoOSer will show up as a normal
minimized icon. Click on this icon, then choose Reboot To and select the
operating system to reboot into.
Note that Boot ChoOSer will ask for confirmation before rebooting; to force
a reboot without confirmation, hold down the Shift key as you select the
operating system to reboot to.
Boot ChoOSer works by modifying the "default=" and "timeout=" values in your
BOOT.INI file. If you don't want these values changed, don't use Boot ChoOSer.
More information
================
Use your web browser to view the file ChooseOS.htm, located in the Boot
ChoOSer folder (probably C:\Program Files\MaDdoG\ChooseOS).
