     Yes, when making the 'Rescue Media', there is an option:   
      
   "Select Device   
     Windows Boot menu   
           Add/change the boot menu for the selected Windows PE version"   
      
     My notes say that this option is selected by default, so you have to   
   unselect it if you do not want this functionality. You also can remove   
   it later by doing a 'Create Rescue Media...' again and then use the   
   "Remove boot menu" option.   
      
     I have the Windows Boot menu enabled on both our systems. I do not   
   actually use it, but have it as a backup, just in case the USB memory   
   stick with the Rescue Media fails.
