Start up choices in win 2000 professional

[Guest]

By starting up I get to choices - both the same: "start windows 2000
professional" - but only one is relevant as I have only one filesystem etc.

How can I delete the second choice in the menu or totally skip this first
screen?

Control Panel / System
Select the Advanced tab.
Press Settings under Startup and Recovery.
Press the Edit button.
Remove the last line and save the file (c:\boot.ini)
Change the Time to display the operating system to the smallest number you can react to if you need to press F8.
