Removing Startup Initial screen

[Guest]

Upon startup a black and white screen comes up that offers choice to start Win XP and another option. The Win XP option is highlighted and the OS starts automatically. Is there a way to remove this step from the startup process or must I put up with it? Thank you. Josie

Hi,

To remove that selection screen, right click your My Computer and then
select Properties.
Then click on the Advanced Tab, and then click on the Settings button under
the Startup and Recovery section.

You'll now see a System startup section at the top and it'll have a drop
down list for your default operating system, and also two checkmark boxes.

To remove the selection screen select the operating system first that you
want to boot into your computer with and then uncheck the Time to display
list of operating systems checkmark box.

Then hit OK, and then OK again.
