Deployment Solution 7.5 Streamline/bypass Windows Boot Loader with Automation Folder

    Using DS7.5 HF5 to deploy Windows 7 images

    After installing the Automation Folder, I am presented with the Windows Boot Loader every time the computer reboots. It has Windows 7 as the default option and the Symantec Pre-Boot enviroment as well and it waits 30 seconds before auto-booting into Windows if no selection is chosen. This is functioning just fine. However, I'd love to bypass the Windows Boot Loader completely and boot straight to Windows so the users aren't presented with any options that could get them into trouble. The only time I want to see any reference to the Pre-Boot Environment is when I queue up a job that requires it. 

    I'm sure there's something basic I missed. I imagine I could right a script that runs in production and resets the boot device as needed, but that seems a bit clunky. Anybody have tips on how to streamline Windows startup?
