Hi, Click start, type msconfig and hit <enter> to open the system configuration utility. Go to the boot tab, select the unwanted entries and click on delete. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "FireBrick" <w9ol@billnjudy.com> wrote in message news:udF$1lg7IHA.3624@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Vista Home Premium > upon boot up I get a screen that has me select which Windows operating > system I want. > > It offers 3 choices > previous OS > Windows Vista > Windows XP > > How to I stop this so it automatically starts Vista Home Premium? > > please and thank you > > |

Next, click Advanced System Settings and then click the Startup And Recovery Settings button. This displays the Startup And Recovery window, where you can select the default OS [Vista in this case] then change the length of time the Boot Menu appears. Set it to 0 [zero] and you're good to go rgds Roberto > please and thank you. > "Roberto le Corneille" <whoist@nospam.net> wrote in message > news:eyYKEti7IHA.4112@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> >> "FireBrick" <w9ol@billnjudy.com> wrote in message >> news:udF$1lg7IHA.3624@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>> Vista Home Premium >>> upon boot up I get a screen that has me select which Windows operating >>> system I want. >>> >>> It offers 3 choices >>> previous OS >>> Windows Vista >>> Windows XP >>> >>> How to I stop this so it automatically starts Vista Home Premium? >>> >>> please and thank you >> >> More info is required - do you have XP and some other OS on the >> primary HDD , or did you upgrade from XP to Vista ?. >> Best to "tell all " no one here uses Chrystal balls much these >> days, they are too unreliable. >> >> rgds >> Roberto >> > > |
