Hey People. :-)

You know, when you have at least 2 operating systems installed (windows xp and windows 2000 for instance) When you boot up there's a list of OS to choose from with a countdown. And so you you have that time to choose which to boot into, or otherwise when countdown is finished it'll just boot in to the 1st selected OS? Well, I remember a while ago I was somehow able to edit that boot file and specify how long the countdown is and stuff. I can't find it again. Any idea where that file would be and how can I edit how long the countdown is?

Thanks

lots

Boot.ini is where you can find all that stuff..

Also you can open up msconfig and see it all listed there as well..

A graphical solution would be:

Right Click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Boot and Recovery (or something similar...)

Hope it helps.
