I hate it when a user's PC shuts down ungracefully, and they choose startup recovery at the next boot.  The process (albeit "recommended") removes the PC from the AD domain...uggg...  Therefore, I disable the startup recovery prompt altogether.

Run this at a command line or put it in a batch file:

bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
