dual boot at start up.....

[D..]

I recently began to install windows XP office edition on
my computer. It already had Windows XP home edition. I
changed my mind and cancelled the installation before it
progressed too far but now when I start my computer it
has a choice to use windows home or windows office. I
went into the settings and changed the seconds that
message is displayed to 0 so now I don't see the message
at all but I was wondering if this could slow down
startup times and if so how do i get rid of it? Thanks

Adjust the BOOT.INI file by removing the unwanted OS: "How to Edit the

Hi,

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig
Then go to the Boot.ini Tab and click on Check All Boot Paths. If you
receive a warning about a duplicate path: Do you want to remove, choose
yes.

Or...

Right click the My Computer icon/Properties/Advanced/Startup and
Recovery/Settings/System Startup/Edit.
