How To Remove Options Before Boot Screen In Home Edition?

[Bharat Choragudi]

I am using a new Windows XP home edition. i wanted to know how do i remove
the two options i get before booting my system 1. Start Windows With
Bootscreen And 2. Start Windows Normally (Although Both Boot up similarly)

Thanks

The options are in the boot.ini file in which you can edit.

The worst bit on the machine I looked at yesterday was a 30 second delay
until XP automatically started- editing the boot.ini can reduce the delay or
remove the option if you want.

After doing a search on my hard drive i found only boot.ini.backup is this
the right file and if not help find the real one. Thanks

Well i found the easy way to fix it. I used to use Style XP and that was what
caused it to have both a bootscreen option and regular option so i just told
style xp to repair the boot.ini and it worked!
