I get a choice of two "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" each time I boot up

[Nicholas Johnson]

When my computer starts, during the black screen I get a
choice of two "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional." I
would like to remove one of them, and I think Regedit can
do the job.

This is little more than an irretating, but I know there
is a fix to this. I had the solution a year ago, but can
no longer remember how to fix it.

Thanks

Not a job for regedit.exe, but a job for notepad.exe

Remove the line from boot.ini located in the root of the system partition.
Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files" to locate the files in the system partition.
