It looks like you have 2 versions of XP installed and not sure what WINDOWS XP SET UP is? Somebody may have a better idea but I'm guessing you'll have to do a clean install of XP to get rid of it, i.e., do a full format before you do the install and this will wipe everything out on the drive. I just had to do this to get rid of 2000 on machine

Boot the XP CD and one of your option is to format the drive. Do a full NTFS format. This will wipe everything off that drive so if you have any data you want to save back it up on another drive, CD, DVD, or flash drive,

Ccleaner can be found here: http://www.ccleaner.com/ I don't know if that will solve your problem as dortmund371 suggested.

You can edit XPs boot.ini to remove the extra choices http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

but your best bet is to format and reinstall as g-paw suggested.
