    Question Edit boot sequence

    I would like to know how I can edit my boot sequence. I used to have 2 OS, now I only have one and I would like to eliminate the old boot sequence.

    The file boot.ini contains the boot sequence. It's reflected in control panel->system->advanced tab in the startup and recovery section (W2K talk - corresponding place in XP )

    Or you can go to Start>Run and type "msconfig", then in the boot.ini tab you can either delete the line for the non-existant OS, or probably easier is to just set the timeout value to zero.

    That's odd. Maybe it's a "feature" of msconfig. It's certainly possible to set it directly in boot.ini though.
