+===== Vista Folder Redirection =====
+Im going to leave the c: in but I mean the system drive letter
+\user\default is where "C:\documents and settings\default user" used to be.
+profiles now have roaming and local sections app data is folder name
+FIXME a guess - I may be wrong but -
+some folders are redirected like registry so apps running as current user can think they have written to local machine settings but the changes will be lost when they logout and are only available to them ?)
+C:\users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
+===== Import Certificates =====
+to import certificate must be running IE7 as administrator BUT need to manually specify that certificate is for local machine not just current user
+===== How to edit the boot loader menu for Vista  =====
+Answer: Use BCDEDIT.EXE  ( bootsect.exe to restore Vista Loader - on \boot of CD  )
+BCDEDIT.EXE Help
+BCDEDIT - Boot Configuration Data Store Editor
+The Bcdedit.exe command-line tool modifies the boot configuration data store.
+The boot configuration data store contains boot configuration parameters and
+controls how the operating system is booted. These parameters were previously
+in the Boot.ini file (in BIOS-based operating systems) or in the nonvolatile
+RAM entries (in Extensible Firmware Interface-based operating systems). You can
+use Bcdedit.exe to add, delete, edit, and append entries in the boot
+configuration data store.
+For detailed command and option information, type bcdedit.exe /? <command>. For
+example, to display detailed information about the /createstore command, type:
+     bcdedit.exe /? /createstore
+For an alphabetical list of topics in this help file, run "bcdedit /? TOPICS".
+<code>
+Commands that operate on a store
+================================
+/createstore    Creates a new and empty boot configuration data store.
+/export         Exports the contents of the system store to a file. This file
+                can be used later to restore the state of the system store.
+/import         Restores the state of the system store using a backup file
+                created with the /export command.
+Commands that operate on entries in a store
+===========================================
+/copy           Makes copies of entries in the store.
+/create         Creates new entries in the store.
+/delete         Deletes entries from the store.
+Run bcdedit /? ID for information about identifiers used by these commands.
+Commands that operate on entry options
+======================================
+/deletevalue    Deletes entry options from the store.
+/set            Sets entry option values in the store.
+Run bcdedit /? TYPES for a list of datatypes used by these commands.
+Run bcdedit /? FORMATS for a list of valid data formats.
+Commands that control output
+============================
+/enum           Lists entries in the store.
+/v              Command-line option that displays entry identifiers in full,
+                rather than using names for well-known identifiers.
+                Use /v by itself as a command to display entry identifiers
+                in full for the ACTIVE type.
+Running "bcdedit" by itself is equivalent to running "bcdedit /enum ACTIVE".
+Commands that control the boot manager
+======================================
+/bootsequence   Sets the one-time boot sequence for the boot manager.
+/default        Sets the default entry that the boot manager will use.
+/displayorder   Sets the order in which the boot manager displays the
+                multiboot menu.
+/timeout        Sets the boot manager time-out value.
+/toolsdisplayorder  Sets the order in which the boot manager displays
+                    the tools menu.
+Commands that control Emergency Management Services for a boot application
+==========================================================================
+/bootems        Enables or disables Emergency Management Services
+                for a boot application.
+/ems            Enables or disables Emergency Management Services for an
+                operating system entry.
+/emssettings    Sets the global Emergency Management Services parameters.
+Command that control debugging
+==============================
+/bootdebug      Enables or disables boot debugging for a boot application.
+/dbgsettings    Sets the global debugger parameters.
+/debug          Enables or disables kernel debugging for an operating system
+                entry.

+MS Technet article
+<code>
+Use the Bcdedit tool to configure the hard disk partition on which Windows Vista is installed
+a.  At the command prompt, type cd %windir%. Note the drive letter that is displayed at the
+command prompt. This drive letter indicates which drive is associated with the active
+partition on the hard disk.
+Typically, this is the C drive.
+b.  Type Drive:\boot\Bootsect.exe –NT60 All, and then press ENTER.
+Note Drive is the drive in which the Windows Vista installation media is located. Typically, this is the computer's
+DVD drive (the E drive).
+c.  Type %windir%\system32\Bcdedit –create {ntldr} –d "Description for earlier Windows version", and then press ENTER.
+Note Description for earlier Windows version can be any text that you want. For example, it can be "Windows XP."
+d.  Type %windir%\system32\Bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=x:, and then press ENTER.
+Note x is the drive letter of the active partition that you identified in step 2a.
+e.  Type %windir%\system32\Bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldr, and then press ENTER.
+f.  Type %windir%\system32\Bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast, and then press ENTER.
+g.  Restart the computer.
