Boot Options

If you are not booting multiple

operating systems, you can

turn off the option permanently,

until it is required. If

there is another OS on your

system, say LINUX, you

can reduce the amount of time

the option to choose which

OS to load is displayed. Rightclick

My Computer, click Properties

> Advanced and click the

Settings button under Startup

and Recovery. Here, you can

choose which operating system

to boot by default. You

can uncheck the boxes to

show the boot options, or

select the number of seconds

for which the choices are displayed.

Five seconds is usually

more than enough.

You will notice recovery

settings in case of a system failure.

Alerts and debugging

information will not be very

helpful for most users, so you

can turn these options off too.
