Hi All,
I knew where it was at one time, but can't seem to find it now.
I have WIN XP and WIN 2K and would like to remove WIN 2K from the boot menu.
TIA

In the root directory of C:, boot.ini.

You need to make sure that protected system files are not hidden.

You can edit it from within XP by going to control panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery settings button/system startup edit button.

I you suggest that you edit it using edit. Do the following:

1. start|run type cmd to start command window
2. cd c:\
3. attrib -r -s -h boot.ini
4. edit boot.ini
make your changes, save and quit edit
5. attrib +r +s +h boot.ini
