In xp go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery -> Settings

Or in 2K, run CMD

Then type edit boot.ini

Careful!

or,
Right-click My Computer, Properties. Go to advanced and then Startup & recovery settings. You can just untick
"time to Display operating systems"
or edit the boot.ini file from there as Praetorian said.
