One menu only

See also ‘Guest Mode’ 

You can remove all the E2B Main Menu entries  and sub-menus and just have the one menu if you wish. 

Here is the standard, default E2B Main Menu with just a Clonezilla ISO file added to \_ISO\MAINMENU folder… 

  This shows the default E2B menu with just one Clonezilla ISO file added to the \_ISO\MAINMENU folder. 

If you do not want the DOS and UTLILITIES menu entries to appear, simple ensure that the \_ISO\DOS and \_ISO\UTILITIES folders are empty (or rename them). 

The menu heading is set by the HEADING variable in \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg. 

If you want to remove the Windows Install menu entry, simply ensure there are no .ISO or .IMGPTN files under \_ISO\WINDOWS.

You can suppress the Windows Install menu entry even if there are .ISO or .IMGPTN files under \_ISO\WINDOWS by using set NOWINMAIN=1 in your \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file. 

The Help, Boot to first HDD, Rebuild Main Menu, Reboot and Power Off menu entries (F1/F7/F8/F9/F10) can also be suppressed by using settings in the \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file. 

To use an existing template, copy the \_ISO\docs\Templates\MainMenu Only\MyE2B.cfg file to \_ISO folder on your E2B USB drive. 

This shows the same E2B USB drive but with the ‘MainMenu Only’ MyE2B.cfg file added. 

The ‘Set default menu entry and timeout’ Main menu entry can be suppressed by using set DEFMENU=0  in your \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file. 

Note: If you have no user payload files or .mnu files present and you use the MainMenu Only configuration file and use set DEFMENU=0, then because the menu will be empty, E2B will just boot to the grub4dos prompt. Please ensure that at least one payload file is present in the \_ISO\MAINMENU folder.

The E2B_Editor.exe GUI can be use to modify the menu and change the background wallpaper. 

You can remove the menu border and centre all the menu entries using: 

# centre the menu entries inside the menu area (and also centre menu entry help text for menu) and no border
setmenu --middle-align
set bdwidth=0 

If you want to add Windows Install ISOs to the Main menu, please see the windows menu page.
