"Boot tab"?
Is it just me, or am I not looking in the right place, or what?
I can't find it...
Anyhow, a boot menu is one that allows booting to multiple operating systems on the same computer.
You can change the number to anything you want, and if you HAVE a boot menu, you will have than many seconds to choose which OS to boot to, or it will count down to zero, and then boot to the default OS.

i think the boot tab you are refuring to is for the faild boot options ie safe mode comand prompt ect the time to display option defult is 30 seconds so if windows fails to boot or you press the f8 key at boot up you get the above options and it counts down till you press enter or select a boot option if you increase the no then it just increases the count down when the timer reaches 0 it boots the highlited option ie safe moad
i dont think this option is on the latist version of tweak ui but i remember it from my old win98 computer

The Boot Menu is just that...a menu that lets you choose a boot option. You normally use it for troubleshooting as it lets you choose to boot to Normal Windows, Safe Mode, DOS and do a logged boot up.

I'm not sure what that time option is...I think if you choose the Boot Menu option, you'll always be taken to the Boot Menu when you boot up your computer. Then if you don't choose an option within the time limit, the system just continues to boot to Normal Windows.
