EDIT: I found how to change it i did not realise StyleXP had the option to change the timout for OS select thanks anyway :)

I love to see people fixing problems on their own instead of being lazy and letting everyone else do the work. :)

Hats off to you. :cool:

boot.ini (hidden file usually in C: )


[boot loader]
timeout=3



One can also "fix stuff" with msconfig

:D

With the possible exception of laptops, one sees an XP bootscreen so infrequently, that IMO, it hardly seems worth the bother of customizing it.

The program I was using (BootXP) didn't recognize the Kernal & with StyleXP trying to do it..it always want to convert it to there format 1st...which seemds to cause me problems also..so I just gave up on iy for now.
