The boot options are contained in a file in the root of C: called boot.ini.
You can modify the default boot options by using
ContorlPanel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery, or you can edit the
boot.ini file directly using Notepad or something like that. You will have
to remove the read-only property on the file before saving it.

Hello Listers:  We have my sons machine that has WinXP pro installed and,
was running just fine until for some reason he decided to try to reinstall
XP with the cd-rom disk. Of course he aborted the installation early but,
not without leaving some tracks behind such as (2) choices when Windows
starts, to wit---Windows XP Professional and, Windows XP professional Setup
which is always highlighted until I make another selection. If we don't
catch these choices early on, it will load the setup info in and, stop---of
course waiting for more setup info from the cd.  How do I go about removing
this second choice from the startup screen.  Any answers out there?  Thanks
Ed Bogert
