boot up

[gapha193]

I did a step by step bootup and now everytime I restart
the computer it does not boot up automatically without
asking if I want to do a normal boot, safe mode or step by
step confirmation. Any ideas on how to avoid this screen?

OS?
Assuming W2K, System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery,
"Display list of operating systems for __ seconds"
You can uncheck that option or change the wait time.

This can also be done from commandline with attrib.exe and edit.com in
the "SystemDriveRoot"\BOOT.INI file. Google or MS KB for boot.ini.

Hello Austin,
since this is a w2k group, I guess Mark is on a better track

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/bootini.shtml

has a quite complete description of the boot.ini options in nt/w2k/xp.

Oops
Replace that 96 with 1268

I had both "Startup options" links next to each other on
my list, and I copied the wrong one.
Thank you Matthias.
