Now where is it?

Stupid me
That boot up menu which offers me a choice between windows xp and microsoft windows on bootup and waits for 20 seconds if I dont make a choice.
Somewhere there's a way of cutting down the time from 20 secs to 1 sec, only I can't for the life of me remember where to find it.
Anyone help?
