Windows 7 Bootloader and Icons.

[Davd]

I got two these I want to chat about with you guys.

Right when I start my pc, the bootloader comes up where you pick which os you want to go into, since I dont use Vista anymore or Ubuntu ones that I installed with Wubi, I want to delete them, but I dont know how can someone tell me how to delete all those entries from the list and make the time like 2 sec so it boots faster and I dont have to press enter, or remove that screen entirely.

Second, I LOVE TH SUPERBAR! Its like my fav thing of all time in computers right behind another thing. But, I want to use my own Icons and have it use up the entire square in the superbar, I currently have it set to always combine hide labels. But it seems like no matter how big I make the icon file, it doesnt matter, I made the icon in photoshop and used an online converter to convert it to ico, it like centers out and doesnt take up the whole square. If anybody know how to make it like that to take up the whole square let me know.

Tl:dr I need to edit the bootloader and I want my icons to take up the whole square. Thanks so much!!!

It's great that you're enjoying the features of your Windows PC! Let's address your two concerns:

Editing the Bootloader:​

To remove unwanted entries from the bootloader and adjust the timeout settings, you can use the System Configuration tool in Windows. Here's how you can do it:

1. Press Windows Key + R, type msconfig, and hit Enter.
2. In the System Configuration window, go to the Boot tab.
3. Here, you'll see a list of operating systems. You can select the ones you want to remove and click Delete.
4. To change the timeout, look for the Timeout setting and set it to 2 seconds.
5. You can also select No GUI boot to remove the screen entirely (although be cautious as this will make it harder to troubleshoot boot issues).

   Customizing Taskbar Icons:​

   If you want your icons on the Superbar (Taskbar) to take up the entire square, here's what you can do:
6. Ensure your icon file is in the correct dimensions. Windows typically uses a square icon of around 48x48 pixels for the Taskbar. You can use an image editor like Photoshop to create or adjust your icon to this size.
7. Once you have the right size, convert it to the .ico format.
8. Right-click on the shortcut for the program you want to customize on the Taskbar and select Properties.
9. In the Properties window, select the Change Icon button and browse to select your custom icon.
10. Click OK to apply the changes. By following these steps, you should be able to manage your bootloader settings and customize your Taskbar icons to take up the entire square. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
