Windows XP has a boot menu now! How do I get rid of it?

[LordJezo]

I dont know what I did but WinXP now has a boot screen asking me what I want to load when it starts up.

Says XP Pro and Test or something.

Is there a file someplace where I can get rid of it?

Right click My Computer, choose Properties, then click onto Advanced and then into Startup and recovery.
You can set which one you want the PC to boot into by default.
You can also set the time delay that it waits for like 1 second or 5 seconds...

Better yet, go to the screen dbwillis mentioned, then click the "Edit" button. This will open Notepad with the Boot.ini file. Make sure Word Wrap is off, then delete the line that mentions the "Test" startup option. You should be left with a file that looks something like:

[boot loader]
timeout=10
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

As long as there's only one option, Windows will select it automatically (and instantly) when booting.
