Removing OS Choice from XP Start Up

    Anyone have any idea how to remove the OS choice from the boot up of XP?

    At the moment it gives me two choices:

    Windows XP Home Edition

    and

    Windows XP Setup

    It default highlights the Setup one and chooses it after 3 secs.

    This then goes through the motions of looking for the WinXP CD before rebooting itself. You have to highlight the 1st choice to make it go into windows normally.

    Tis rather annoying so any help to remove the buggering thing would be appreciated!

    Conrtol Panel>System Properties>Advanced Tab>Startup and Recovery (Settings)>System Startup

    This actually edits a file called "boot.ini" in your C:
