I just got my computer back from being worked on. Now whenever I turn it on after the Thinkpad screen (where it says to interrupt normal startup push the blue thinkpad button), a screen shows up that asks me to select which I want to start
-Windows xp recovery console
-Windows xp professional
How can I get rid of this screen so I can just go straight to windows xp professional?
Take a look at our

Re: Windows XP startup
What about just unchecking the box that says time to display list of operating systems in the startup and recovery dialog box under system startup?

Re: Windows XP startup
Don't know what happens then, but feel free to try it...
AFAIK you need to set the show-time to 0 seconds.
