We did a Vista upgrade on an XP box. Chose to do it as a clean upgrade,
preserving the original version of Windows XP and all it's data in the
Windows.Old folder. All went swimmingly BUT....

Whenever the system is booted up, we get a boot menu, i.e., the loader
prompts us to select the OS installation we want to boot into. This is
the first and only of SEVERAL upgrades I did that has this boot menu
popping up so it kinda surprised me.

I'd just like to zap it so the user doesn't get confused; the old OS is
long gone anyway (we just copied the data over) so the options aren't
valid anyway. How do I disable the boot menu?

Click to expand...

You can run the System Configuration Utility and Check Boot Paths.

Start Orb>Run>msconfig [enter]

Or if you don't have the classic Start Menu, just type msconfig into the
Search box.

go to Control Panel\System and Maintenance\System on the left side titled
tasks select "Advance system settings", In "startup and recovery" click
settings button, under " system startup" uncheck the first box that say time
to display list of operating system. This will disable the list of operating
system during boot.
