BCD Editor
The BCD Editor tool is a GUI wrapper of the command line tool bcdedit.exe, used for editing boot configurations
in Windows Vista operating system. The built-in tool uses command line, so it is difficult to use.
BCD Editor is a GUI application - all functions are easy to reach and easy to use. Moreover it does not require knowledge of command line parameters. The GUI tool is especially good for Windows driver developers - allows to set debug configuration and debug parameters very easily.
Every time when a change is made (and eventually confirmed by the "Apply" button click), the GUI application runs built-in bcdedit.exe as an external process. That process makes the required change to the BCD database. This way ensures compatibility with future Vista versions, because no changes are made directly by BCD editor. BCD editor requires administration (elevated) privileges to run.
