    Vista start up issue

    Today I installed Vista (yay, looks very pretty). The problem is that each time I turn my PC on, it offers me a choice of operating systems to boot:
    Vista,
    or,
    Vista.

    Now, this is because I installed it twice, once on a secondary hard drive to check my wireless dongle was compatible and then again on my main hard drive.

    What I want to know is how do I make it skip asking me which OS to use during start up? It's a bit annoying to have to press enter everytime I turn on my PC.

    Thanks

    It's in msconfig, under the boot menu.

    Remove the ones you don't need
