Customize Windows XP Multiboot Startup Options

If you’ve installed another operating system (in addition to XP) on your system, your PC starts up with a multiboot menu, which allows you to choose the operating system you want to run. The menu stays live for 30 seconds, and a screen countdown tells you how long you have to make a choice from the menu. After the 30 seconds elapse, it boots into your default operating system, which is generally the last operating system you installed. You can customize that multiboot menu and how your PC starts by editing the boot.ini fi le, a hidden system fi le,The boot.ini fi le is a plain-text fi le found in your root C:\ folder.launch Windows Explorer, choose View→Tools→Folder Options→View, and select the Show Hidden Files and Folders radio button.
