Do you still have multiple OS's? If you do, and are leaving more on the machine than just the primary OS you use, go into the boot.ini file in your root directory on C, and set the selection time to 0, and set the OS you use as the one that's automatically highlighted in that menu.

That way it will boot right into that OS without you having to choose, but the multiboot menu will still be incact. If you ever need/want to get back into another OS you just go back in that file and change the selection time back to a number that will give you time to decide which OS to boot into.

Before you change the boot.ini, make a bootable floppy and copy boot.ini to it. That way if the changes you make are incorrect and keep the system from booting, you can boot to a dos prompt using the floppy and copy the original boot.ini back onto C, reboot without the floppy, and try making changes again.

right click on the "my computer" icon and click on properties. This brings up your system properties. Then click on the "advanced" tab. You should see 3 different settings buttons for Performance, user profiles, and startup and recovery. Click on the "Startup and Rovery" sections Settings button. In the new window that comes up the top section deals with that list of multiple operating systems. Uncheck the box by the "Time to display list of operating systems" and when thats done you computer should boot into whatever OS you have set as your default. You can change what system is the default from that same window. Hope that helps ya

If it doesn't help ya then I am unclear as to what you are asking.
