If you have installed multiple operating systems on your computer and want to modify the default startup items of the system, this article will help you.
When the computer powers up, the CPU will call the boot. ini file settings to start the corresponding operating system. To modify these default settings, you can choose from the following three methods:
1. Modify the C: \ boot. ini file. (Recommendation level: Low)
The content is similar to the following:
[Boot loader]
Timeout = 15
Default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS
[Operating systems]
C: \ = "DOS"
Multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"/noexecute = optin/fastdetect
C: \ wubildr. mbr = "Xubuntu"
 
Note:
Timeout = 15
The system will wait for 15 seconds for the user to select the OS to start. If the user does not make any choice within 15 seconds, the system will start the system according to the default option.
Default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS
The system will start Windows by default.
C: \ = "DOS"
Representation: DOS Operating System
Multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"/noexecute = optin/fastdetect
Windows XP operating system located in the first partition of the hard disk
C: \ wubildr. mbr = "Xubuntu"
Indicates the Xubuntu operating system (one of the four major releases of Ubuntu is the smallest)
 
If you want to remove the DOS Operating System option, change the wait time to 10 seconds, and change the default Operating System to Xubuntu, you can make the following modifications:
[Boot loader]
Timeout = 10
Default = c: \ wubildr. mbr
[Operating systems]
Multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \ WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"/noexecute = optin/fastdetect
C: \ wubildr. mbr = "Xubuntu"
 
2. Click "my computer"-> "properties"-> "advanced"-> "Start and fault recovery (settings )". (Recommendation level: Medium)
In the drop-down list of "default Operating System", select the appropriate operating system. In the "show operating system list time" text box on the right, enter the number of seconds to wait.
 
Note: You can also click "edit" to enter the manual editing mode. The method is the same as 1st.
 
3. Run the command msconfig-> "BOOT. INI ". (Recommended level: High)
Select the row of the corresponding operating system and click "set as default" to complete the settings. In the "time-out" edit box, enter the corresponding Waiting seconds.
After modifying the settings, click "OK" or "Apply" and exit to complete the settings.
