Thanks for the quick reply!

My understanding of that script above is that it will edit the cfg file
permanently until modified a second time. Unfortunately this wont work for
me.

It will work when I boot into clonezilla which uses Linux as it can modify
the script, but when the second menu entry boots it will boot windows which
cant easily make this change :-( which is why i need syslinux to make the
change for me.

The other option I am looking into right now is using syslinux to always
chainboot to grub on the USB and see if that will work.
