Don't know about the file thing, but you can right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Start up and Recovery and uncheck the display list of operating systems.

naw man, theres a .dll file that im talkign about, i know some one knows about it, ive seen the question in hrere before

It's in the C:\ Folder. It's called "boot"

Check and make sure the files aren't hidden and then you can edit it here's an example

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional (bootscreen)" /fastdetect /KERNEL=kernel1.exe
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

If you don't know what your doing don't do anything or your computer might not boot

You can modify the boot.ini file and remove the reference to the OS you DON'T want to boot. It's read-only so make sure you uncheck read only before you save it and re-check read only after you save it. Another option is to set your timeout to 0, so it goes right into Window$, no waiting.

make it easier for me guys, i wanna do this without having to reformat again

goto Run...
type msconfig then enter
System Utility will appear
goto boot.ini tab
you can edit anything from there
