>microsoft windows xp (bootscreen)
>microsoft windows xp

i started after i usen "style xp" to customize the bootscreen....now i want to remove the option "microsoft windows xp (bootscreen)" and make it so that the screen for the selection of windows dosent come again

Click to expand...

DE JA VU!!!

Boy! I was going to make a similar thread today... I have the same PC config and the similar two-options select screen flicks on while bootup. Even though I removed the bootup screen that I'd installed via StyleXp... the two options are still being shown.

@readermaniax
You really freaked me out by this post of yours!

i had the same problem once. since then i stopd using stylexp for bootskin, but use tune-up utilities 2006 for this purpose. safe and trouble free.

i had tried this :
i opened stylexp. installed the default windows bootskin using it.
rebooted twice. somehow it solved my problem (!)

i had decided to try the latest system restore point, if this had not worked !

hope this wrks or sum1 comes up with a better solution.

Use msconfig to edit boot.ini - you can edit it to show only one entry...

[boot loader]
timeout=20
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot /NoExecute=OptIn

under [operating systems] you should have only one entry (in above, "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)") and that entry should be entered in default...

Preferably set up a system restore point in case anything goes wrong.

If u need the bootscreen option to go away, do explore ur Style XP Its all there

Go here > Style XP > Bootscreens > Reset Kernel file and Reset Boot.ini

If u need the screen, then open ur Boot.ini and remove the line > multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot /NoExecute=OptIn

(provided theres the bootscreen line below this )
so that u get only the boot screen option and not the non-bootscreen option

right click mycomputer. choose properties
goto advanced>startup and recovery>settings
there you remove the boot screen entry.
as simple as that.
works for winxP

after all this , is it like there is a bug in style-XP ???

it ain't a bug,style xp just creates an alternate kernel in order to minimize the chances of something screwing up.
