You'll use BCDEdit to edit the boot menu settings. A good tutorial is here.

  • You can make the change in windows, no need to drag another piece of software into the mix.

  • @Scott, BCDEdit is part of Windows.

You can either use EasyBCD or the built-in BCDEdit, as Kevin mentioned.

For XP it's:

Right click my computer --> properties --> advanced --> startup and recovery --> settings

I'm pretty sure it's the same for Win7

I've had to do this myself.

Run msconfig, select the boot tab, and remove the unwanted entry.

A better option is EasyBCD, like gharper mentions below, which has an easy to use GUI and more advanced functionality.

However, there is a new beta version available that has improved Windows 7 support over the latest release.
