Windows Boot (GUI) Delay !!

[MadManiac]

Can anybody help me to find out where the "Boot Function Key" delay is stored? This is the delay which tells windows how long to display the boot messages before booting.

1) Normal
2) Save Mode .... etc

I know you can change it, but where !!!!

Well I think tweak UI is able to change this, including many other parts of the Windows operating system.

Here is a download link and information : -

Yes, TweakUI can, but I need to do it in code. Any ideas?

The data is stored in the file C:\MsDos.sys. (The evil file!)
The file usually has SHR attributes (System, Hidden, Read-only).
This file is looks like an INI file.
Under [Options] you can add two options.

This will turn off the boot keys:
BootKeys=0
To turn them back on, remove that line.

This will turn off the delay:
BootDelay=0
To change it to the default delay, remove that line.
To specify a delay, enter a number in seconds (instead of zero).
