    Removing "Repair this computer" option in Windows 7


    To begin with the proverbial... I didn't know exactly where to post this but...

    Is there a way to edit, change or alter the advanced start up screen in Windows 7 to remove the "Repair this computer" option? We are having a huge issue with users improperly selecting this option and trying to fix the computer themselves.. In a enterprise environment this is a HORRIBLE option and we have to hide it or delete it.

    Thanks in advance!

    [Solved]


    Well i am not sure the appropriate, Microsoft approved way to do this.. But i made a batch file with this command...

    bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

    And it gave me the end result i was looking for.. No more "Repair this computer" on a windows error recovery reboot. Hopefully this will resolve the flood of support tickets this stupid option has created.

    Looks like it will remove Startup Repair's ability to autostart if Win7 fails to start?

    I couldn't think of a way to remove WinRE from Advanced Boot Options without chancing this.

    Our BCD expert here SIW2 would likely know how to remove the hotlink only.
