How do I fix the boot option after doing a fresh install of WinXP

[Digital_Trans]

Please help! How do I fix it so that I don't have to choose which Operating System to load? I did a freash format/install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and when I go to bootup my computer I get prompted to choose between Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home . All I want is for Windows XP Pro to load without having to see that option screen again. Is there a fix or a feature I need to ajust so that when I boot up I go straight into Windows XP Professional? Please help....thank you~!

For Windows installs, there are multiple ways to doing this but they all involve editing the boot.ini file on your boot hdd.

Try this: Control panel, system, advanced tab, click settings under "startup and recovery", change "time to display recovery options" to 0 and verify the correct default OS is selected "WinXP Pro SP2" from the drop-down list, click ok and your done.
