Guest Daddy Groovy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 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. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
