Disabling Win7 Recovery option (for WinDbg)

NTDEV

Hi

Can you let me knwo how to disable the recovery option for Win7 (Win2k8 R2). Basically during Windbg debug if I let the target go ahead with a BSOD (i.e if I do not do .reboot before the BLue screen shows up on teh target), the next time teh target restarts it is struck in that Recovery option and I need to manually go and restart the machine.

I look at the Computer->Proprerties->Hw options/Recovery etc, but there is only one item and no way to suppress the Recover option on next restart.

–thanks

In my previous job, I used “reagentc.exe /disable”, as soon as I installed the Operating System. Hopefully that still works.

There is some information about this command in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799242(WS.10).aspx.
