與Windows XP相比，Vista在啟動選項的開啟上也略有不同。在XP中，用戶必須通過按F8的方式來打來啟動選項，而在Vista中，這一方法依然有效，但同時，用戶也可以通過按空格鍵的方式來達到同樣的效果。另外，作為Vista的繼任者，Windows 7也將繼承這一傳統(tǒng)，在BIOS加載完畢后輕按空格鍵即可呼出Windows 啟動管理器。
“在Windows Vista或Windows Server 2008中除了按F8外，還有一些其他的方法可以用來打開啟動選項。下次重啟時，你可以試試在BIOS加載完畢后，Windows啟動畫面出現(xiàn)前按下空格鍵。如果你正好在那時按下了空格鍵，Windows啟動管理器就會出現(xiàn)了。此時，用戶可以任意選擇OS，或者按下F8打開還原菜單等等?！?BR> 當然，在Windows 7中，當用戶按下F8時，系統(tǒng)還原菜單就會出現(xiàn)。同時，還會有F10按鍵供用戶打開啟動參數(shù)編輯器。不過，參數(shù)管理器只是暫時性的，更多的選項還要借助于msconfig。
“這種方法也可以用在Vista或Server 2008的安裝光盤上。就在系統(tǒng)提示“按任意鍵從CD/DVD啟動”時，輕按2、3下空格鍵，此時，Windows啟動管理器將再次出現(xiàn)，同時，列表中也會出現(xiàn)Windows安裝選項。"

One of the small details introduced in Windows Vista in comparison to Windows XP is the access method to the boot options associated with the operating system. In XP the users had to press F8 during startup in order to come across the boot options at their disposal. When it comes down to Windows Vista, this continues to be valid, however, now users can also hit the Space Bar. Moreover, Windows 7, Vista’s successor, has inherited the same behavior, and pressing the Space Bar after the BIOS stops loading will deliver the Windows Boot Manager.
“In Windows Vista or Server 2008 you now have an alternative and more options than just pressing F8 while booting. Next time you restart your system, right after the BIOS POST screen and just before you see the Windows boot screen, try pressing the space bar. If you timed it right or hit the space bar enough, you’ll now be at the Windows Boot Manager. You can select which OS you’d like to boot, or you can hit F8 for the normal recovery options you’d expect to see,” revealed a member of the Microsoft Global Escalation Services.
Of course that in Windows 7, hitting F8 during startup will take the users straight to the recovery options. Pressing startup, instead, will deliver the Windows Boot Manager, with the same options as for Windows Vista. Naturally, there is also the F10 key, which is designed to take the user to the Edit Boot Parameters. A simple solution for managing boot settings, the Edit Boot Parameters are also just a temporary configuration. In this regard, msconfig offers a more permanent solution.
“This can also be used when booting to a Vista or Server 2008 setup disc. Right after the system prompts you to ’Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.’ Hit the space bar two or three times. You should get the Windows Boot Manager again, and the list should show Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]. You can now hit F8 or F10 in the same way,” the Microsoft Global Escalation Services representative added.
