Default Xp Boot Question...

I recently did a bootcfg

once i did this i did

Bootcfg /rebuild

It fixed my computer now however when i boot up it asks me which operating system to select.

How can i have it automatically boot up without


"""Please select which operating system to start:

y
y

Press ENTER TO Choose
Seconds until the highlighted choice will be started automatically:"""



I want it to just boot XP without having to make this choice...plz help..

thanks so much in advance...

Start>Run>msconfig>boot.ini tab.

Check all boot paths. Should delete the entry that isnt good anymore.
