Anyone know a way to set the ‘default’ recovery boot option on windows 7 to be boot normally instead of recovery boot, via GPO would be great. I’ve been doing some google searches & haven’t seemed to find much yet, maybe someone has better search techniques than I (probably so). – Stevo ---

Very glad to have been able to help. I’ve found that for quite a lot of computer issues, just stating it simply as the search criteria often works. It doesn’t work all the time, but if it doesn’t, it often brings up something that leads to finding the answer. : ) – Susan Novell Community Chat Moderator [http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_rules](http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_rules) [http://www.ncci.org](http://www.ncci.org) NCCIrregulars Web Site [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars) Please read the following before posting in here: [http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy](http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy) ---
