Are you referring to the list of options given to you when the computer is booting up?
If so, open Windows Explorer in Windows, go to tools, folder options, select the view tab and then select the option that says "show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Now go back to Windows Explorer and select the C:\ drive, you should see a file called boot.ini, its here where the options given to you when booting up are set, remove the one you want, save the file, and reboot the computer, your PC should now automatically boot into the correct version without displaying the list.
If this is not what your talking about, then please provide a bit more info and I will try to help.

Cheers
