Disable selective boot?

I have set up a multiboot system with WinXP Pro as the fourth OS installed.
When I boot to the first OS (Win98se), or to the last one (WinXP Pro) I get
a the WinXP multiboot menu and then have to select either the first or last
OS to boot. It is not really a problem, but rather just an aggravation.
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to disable the boot menu in XP?
And would that cause any problem with booting XP? Thanks in advance for any
advice.

Is it the boot.ini menu or the boot menu? If its a boot.ini menu then you
wont be able to disable it per se, you can change the timeout to a smaller
value though. If its the boot menu make sure you dont have a safeboot
switch in your boot.ini.
