This simple trick will show you how to completely hide Windows menu from the Ubuntu Grub menu list.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS uses Grub2. It is the default boot loader and manager for Ubuntu since version 9.10 (Karmic Koala), which no longer uses the /boot/grub/menulist.lst file for configuration.
Instead, you should edit the file /etc/default/grub. Open terminal (Alt+Ctrl+T) and type:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
If your hard disk still contains a Windows partition, add the line at the bottom of the file.
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
It will prevent Windows being added to your grub menu.
To write the change, run
sudo update-grub
which will write a new /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
You can then run
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
to check that your Windows entry has disappeared.
Happy Ubuntu...!!!!
