    Hi dave!

    I need one more help from you :) Can you tell me the command which you used to set the "UEFI Test Boot" whilst installing the GRUB modules? I want to make a little shortcut on desktop to I can use to directly go to GRUB menu via its identifier, because I dont use other OS's so often so I make the Windows btldr as default in UEFI to shave off some seconds off the boot time and prevent other people from entering other unintended OS's :P

    Here is a sample command which I use to directly jump into Windows 7 on second HDD (Without permanantly changing boot order, of course.):-
    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "bcdedit.exe /bootsequence {fe93e859-d747-4772-8c0a-45e2e1672553} /addfirst & shutdown.exe /r /t 00 /f"

    Thanks for your kind support,
    Shreyas.

      Hi again Shreyas,

      Here's the administrative command Grub2Win uses to set up the test boot.
      Very similar to the one you use for Windows.

      bcdedit  /set  {fwbootmgr}   bootsequence
      {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

      You will need to fill in the proper id for Grub2Win above.

      You can obtain the id by running the following command from an
      administrative command prompt

      bcdedit   /enum  firmware

      Look for the Grub2Win entry that contains the gnugrub.kernel64.efi module.

      Hope this helps,

      Dave
