Problem with the program "Boot XP 2.0" and startup screen

I thought I'd try out a couple of new startup screens instead of the boring old windows ones. Now whenever I boot up my computer, I have to pick Windows XP as my operating system. There are 2 choices- Win. XP Pro, or Win. XP Pro. I just don't get it. I switched my boot screen back to the original one and uninstalled boot xp, but boot xp still works on my system and I still get the 2 choices when starting up my pc. Anybody have any ideas?
 
1) Right Click my computer -> Properties
2) Goto Advanced Tab
3) Click Setting in the Startup and Recovery box
4) Click Edit in the system startup box
Now, edit the file so there is only one entry under the [operating systems] area. (BE CAREFUL and make sure you leave at least leave complete entry).
 
Here's what I've got- what needs to go?


[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
(Backup Line)
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="(Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /KERNEL=LOGOOS.EXE
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="(Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
 
ok- I got rid of one of the lines. The one that said (Backup Line). What next?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="(Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /KERNEL=LOGOOS.EXE
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="(Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) (Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
 
Got it working again- here's what I'm left with:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Thanks
