XP Multi-boot question (Boot.ini)

When I first installed XP I had set it up so I could boot to either XP or Win98, but now I want to only boot to XP (I got rid of my win98 partition) here is my boot.ini file. Do I need to just delete it or modify it?
(the xp partition info is correct)

Thanks,

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

Just backspace on the C:\=Microsoft Windows,after erasing that one line,click on, file, click on save and reboot,it's gone!
Just make sure that's all you remove.

Boot.ini is marked READ ONLY you have to unmark this in the properties first..
Or use START RUN MSCONFIG click OK select Boot.ini and remove the entry...

Set the timeout to 0 that way it will go directly into XP
