When I start up my pc before it logs me on and after it shows ur pc info Xp asks me if want I want to boot into. This is exactly what it asks:

1.) Windows Media Center 2005 (bootscreen)
2.) Windows Media Center 2005

Both of these options are the same too. They both go to the boot screen. How to I get rid of one of the options so it goes strait to the bootscreen? I think it has to do with style XP because it copied my bootscreen but idk what to do. I deleted Style XP with no luck. I prolly have to delete the duplicate but idk where its located.... Help me plz. :frusty:

I'm pretty sure stylexp has the option to boot straight in anyway...

But, right click my computer->properties->advanced->start and recovery options->choose a default thing to boot and set timer to 0 seconds.

Awesome thx alot peat moss. :D I can't figure out how to delete the first os in command prompt tho.

I don't understand this part:

Removing an Operating System
At the command prompt, type:
bootcfg /delete /ID#
Where # specifies the boot entry ID that you want to be deleted from the operating systems section of the BOOT.INI file (e.g. 2 for the second Operating system that is listed.

EDIT: LOL wow I get it now. I should have read the fecking example. :pinch:

Ross , he deleted stylexp , but should be able to follow your advice to "delete" the second entry . :)


And your right he should set time out to zero .
