Question Two Questions

In xp is the settings for startup programs to be disabled
in doc and settings,programs,start menu for all users or
the user logged on?
And if I have xp already installed with linux being installed
before xp,how do I set it up to see linux as a boot option?
actually I had two other os on this machine and now this
is three with me only being able to see xp now.
Thanks for any and all responses.

Hi mq1,

Your easiest option is to use a good third-party Boot Manager.

System Commander
http://www.v-com.com/product/sc7_ind.html

OSL2000
http://www.osloader.com/

Then you will be able to boot into any of the three systems with ease.

HTH
