Abstract
A method for altering the start-up sequence of an operating system prior to loading the operating system is disclosed. The method allows changes to be made to the start-up sequence of processes and applications initiated by the operating system based upon the occurrence of a designated event during the BIOS boot sequence. In this manner, events occurring prior to operating system loading affect the operating system start-up sequence. Similarly, the illustrative embodiment of the present invention may, during the period of time the operating system is operating, write instructions which control the sequence of events taking place during the subsequent BIOS boot sequence.
