Windows Home Edition & Windows Pro

[Guest Daddy Groovy]

I have both operating systems on my computer. When i boot up, it gives me a

choice on which one to boot in. My question, i usually boot up with pro so is

there a way to have the computer automatically boot with it instead of asking

me for a choice?

Control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab -> Startup and Recovery ->

Settings, pick a default OS entry, set the timeout (make it short or

long depending on how long you want the menu to be displayed).

You've already gotten answers to your question, but let me ask you a

question: Why do you have both XP Professional and XP Home? Are you

aware that Home is a subset of Professional and that there is nothing

in Home that isn't also in Professional?

 

If it were me, I would simply get rid of XP Home.
