In windows 9x/me, you simply fdisk/mbr and sys the drive (using the startup diskette) to get a single boot. Win Nt/2k/XP need boot.ini to work, thus the edit is necessary. If you only have one OS, and it's set as default, you can bypass the delay in loading it (showing the boot menu), by editing the "timeout = 30" line, to say: timeout = 0
