I dunno about W2K, but in NT it's in control panel, system, startup/shutdown.

Or you can edit the boot.ini file and change the "default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT" to the entry for Winme (don't know what it says)

Thumbs up I agree!

Edit the Boot.ini file - it's very straight forward.

I installed Win2000 on the wrong partition the first time (Phwah,Phwee) and had two Win2000's listed in the boot menu. I edited Boot.ini and now, all is well.

Merry Xmas!
