1. Run the msconfig utility by going to Start --> Run and type in "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) or you can go to Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Command Promt and type "msconfig"
2. Go to the BOOT.INI tab.
3. Select the options you want to set for XP to boot up with.
Here are some good options here (some aren't included in msconfig):
/SOS:Displays information about each driver it loads. It also provides other information, like the XP build number and amount of memory installed.
/BOOTLOG:Saves a boot log to %WINDOWSDIR%\ntbtlogl.txt
/NOGUIBOOT:Don't load the XP splash screen on bootup.
/SAFEBOOT:switch:Loads Safe Mode with the following options:
minimal:standard safe mode
network:also load network drivers
minimal(alternate shell):load cmd.exe
To manually edit the options, go to %SYSTEM_DRIVE%\boot.ini and edit the text next to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)/WINDOWS ="Microsoft Windows XP"
Next time you boot, Windows XP will be load with these options!
