Hmm, yeah, that's a good question. I am using a USB mouse, but I don't believe I had any other USB devices in my computer when I saved that screenshot, nor did I have a DVD in the drive. I played around with looking at the BCD text, and it's output doesn't seem to change when I add or remove USB...

Firmware Bootloader? Hmmm, I'm not sure about that.. Here is a screenshot of what I 'deleted': I also checked under fwbootmgr, but it is empty of elements. Bootmgr is full of elements, but none of them matched Ubuntu GUID or have the Ubuntu title. Here's a screenshot of bootmgr:

Haha, yeah, my thoughts exactly. Who knows, I may end up trying to re-install Ubuntu on this machine some day anyways. At any rate, I think GRUB has proven itself worthy of remaining where it is for the time being. Topgundcp—I tried the msconfig suggestion, but only the windows bootloader was...

Update: I downloaded Visual BCD, and I found and deleted Ubuntu and all of its contents, but, after restarting my computer, it's there again. This thing is persistent! I think I'm just going to throw in the towel and leave it there. I don't imagine it will be doing any harm.

Okay, great. I will try that. Thanks!

Huh, that was interesting. The file wasn't there a minute ago, but I did a quick search for it and suddenly it appeared on my desktop. Here are it's contents: Firmware Boot Manager --------------------- identifier {fwbootmgr} displayorder {bootmgr}...

Okay, I tried re-entering both of those command lines, one in the power shell and one in the command prompt, both run as administrator, and I didn't seem to get any results back. Any thoughts on why that would be? I think I'll take a look at that visual BCD later today as well.

I ran the suggested command, but I received an error:

Thanks for the replies! I am working with UEFI. I have a lenovo laptop with windows 8.1 pre-installed. I had installed Ubuntu next to windows, but I was having some major keyboard and mouse issues that I couldn't seem to resolve. Here is a screenshot of my Disk Management:

I am having this same exact problem. I ended up, as Saltgrass suggests, going into BIOS and selecting WindowsBootLoader as the first to be executed upon start-up. That certainly seemed to get rid of the problem with entering GRUB every time I start my computer, but GRUB is still there.. Does...
