Well...you would need to edit the 'boot.ini' file (should be in 'C:\'). Delete the entry which is responsible for loading Windows 2000.
If the screen is still coming up, set the 'timeout' to 0...

Well...now I am confused...however, there seems to be a different way to access it...take a look at this article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q289/0/22.asp&NoWebContent=1)...

Ahhh...well did not think of that one since I usually display all the files (even hidden etc.) automatically since basically 10 years... :rolleyes:
