Option on windows xp startup.....

I got a dell dimension 5150 for christmas. Like all dell machines it came preinstalled with tons of bloatware and crap i don't need. Well, i got a bit aggravated and put the windows xp professional installation disk. I clicked reinstall windows and it began downloading the files needed for setup. I then clicked cancel. Now, my computer works fine with no problems. The only thing i can't change now is upon startup i get the option of 1)starting windows xp prof. or 2) continue installing windows xp prof.


How do i eliminate the option of continuing the installation so that it just boots straight into windows xp prof?
 
1. edit boot.ini with notepad
2. change options in the system properties, advanced tab, startup and recovery section, settings button.
