Well.. as the title says, I'm having trouble with the OS Boot List at Start-Up
Everytime I restart my computer, the computer loads the first screen, then it gets to a list... like... it asks what OS I want to boot up with...
I have the choice of Windows XP or Windows XP Setup...
I just wanna get rid of the choice to select Windows XP Setup...
Because that's what the default is.. it's highlighted automatically and if I dont pick my choice in 4 seconds, it'll automatically goes to that.. but if I press up or down on the arrow keys, the timer stops..
I'll try and get you pix fo this as soon as I get batteries for my horrible camera.. but until then, I'll have to ask you to help me using the details I have provided...

Hello Paradox924X...

Open System in Control Panel.

On the "Advanced" tab, under "Startup and Recovery", click "Settings".

Under "System startup", in the "Default operating system" drop down menu, click the operating system you want to start when you turn on or restart your computer....Click "Ok"..."Apply" the settings and click "Ok"

Well.. I guess I won't needto take a picture of it after all! Thanks a lot~!
Your hepl is greatly appreciated.. time to restart and see if it works... I will edit with the results!

In the same window, you can set the time to display the option of starting the OS by unchecking the "Time to display Operating System to start" checkbox...this will eliminate the options window from opening.

I restarted, read this, then unchecked that box, then re-started again, and the default is now set to what I want it to be, but the OS choice window still appears... but now I have 1 second... It's fine though, as long as the default option has been changed! Thanks a lot for your help! I appreciate it.

Go back into the window, recheck the box, manually set the time to diplay to 0, and uncheck the box...
