    Many thanks - looking at this, I was so close when I tried it but did not quite get all commands right.:)

    I will give this a whirl.

    EDIT: It worked fine - many thanks Kyhi. Just a suggestion - it might be worth adding these batch files to your home post #1?

    Cheers

    No better, just an alternative if you don't want to mess with the boot menu. Copy all the files to a 2GB partition and remove the drive letter. On restart or power up, drill down to "Use a device". It will show up like this, or similar..... (Yeah, I know I have of bunch of renegade 450MB's...haven't cleaned up recently!)

    I have a strange issue now since using above batch file. If I shutdown pc and restart, it shows the 8/10 metro bootloader but if I restart, it shows old style 7 bootloader.

    I have tried using bcdedit commands and easybcd but nothing works.
    If I delete bcd and rebuild it works fine until I add a winpe boot entry.

    As an aside, my pc (lenovo) accesses the w7 menu much faster than the metro style.

    The W7 boot menu appears right at the start of the boot process, The W10 boot menu seems to be just before logon.

    Because of this line in batch > bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu True
    It shows the standard boot menu

    not the new style boot menu > If set as "False" it shows new style boot menu..
    Or just "REM" the line as below..
    rem bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu True

    As stated above the Usual method is PC boots the Standard Boot menu -
    then rolls over to display New Style boot Menu > That line prevents the rollover (=Faster Boot Time)

    I also edit the batch to allow user to INPUT drive letter > rather then edit batch file...

    Thanks for the explanation. I set it as false and now I get the graphical ui but now I understand how it works, I am tempted to revert to old style menus as it is much quicker on my pc - adds 10-15 seconds to boot time.

    Cheers

    could someone explain in detail how to edit this PE? i would like to make more desktop shortcuts for existing tools and add some more tools to it but honestly i'm at a loss exactly how to do so. Mainly i would like to add an additional AV scanner, an additional malware scanner, roadkills unstopable coppier and Ccleaner. but i'd like to be able to edit it when needed without needing assistance each time

    Look back at post #308.

    You basically mount the wim file, and copy folders in program files to the same in the mounted drives. Then unmount it and copy boot.wim to flash drive.

    Then boot from it and setup the various shortcuts in default\desktop folder pointing to executables in x drive.

    Then mount boot.wim again as before, copy shortcuts across to mounted image, and unmount.

    I had to do it in two steps or else shortcuts do not point to x directory. There may be easier ways but this works for me.
