Dual boot

[Mrich]

Whats the proper way to get rid of the boot menu option of Microsoft
windows. I would like only W2K and not the Microsoft Windows options.
In other word, how to edit the boot.ini file for this ?
Thanks in advance,
Mrich

Actually I have set the time to 1 sec and that works for me but I would
still like to get rid of the option.
Thanks.

First Control Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery, choose the correct
System Startup option as default, then you'll need to delete the options you
want removed from the boot.ini, it's a system, hidden file in the root of
the system partition. So you'll need to show-all-files in Explorer.
Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders" *and* also uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files". You should end up with something like this (below). The timeout
value is not functional when there is only one startup choice.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect

Thanks Dave,
Your posts are always on the money. There was a line in the boot.ini like "
C:\ =Windows"
I deleted it and the menu went away...Cool.
