The options are in the boot.ini file in which you can edit.

The worst bit on the machine I looked at yesterday was a 30 second delay
until XP automatically started- editing the boot.ini can reduce the delay or
remove the option if you want.

After doing a search on my hard drive i found only boot.ini.backup is this
the right file and if not help find the real one. Thanks

there is an excellent article on ExtremeTech website. You can google this.
The article is in the current "issue" out today. It's free and give you a
lot of information on windows boot up.

It will show you how to speed up your boot.

Well i found the easy way to fix it. I used to use Style XP and that was what
caused it to have both a bootscreen option and regular option so i just told
style xp to repair the boot.ini and it worked!
