I have both Windows Millenium and Windows 2000 installed on my system and I have a lot of programs that took awhile to put on it (hence I don't want to reinstall them all again).

The problem is that whenever I startup I have to pick between 2000 and ME. I want to get rid of that and be left with only 2000 every time so that it disregards that screen. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance, and great site. I apologize if this is impossible or if this is obvious or if you have listed it already.

Right click My Computer | Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and there should be a 'Startup' button. Click that and it should bring up some boot options. At the top it should have a drop down menu, that would say either Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition or Microsoft Windows 2000. Choose Windows 2000 and then uncheck the checkbox under it saying to display the boot menu for 'X' seconeds. It will never ask you again. If you want to be really slick, you can edit your boot.ini and take out the ME entry, but this will do the same thing.
