Remove "F8" startup menu (win xp)

why? i assume it has to do with security or else you would not be in this area. just make sure that the administrator account has a password and you should be ok.

I have a administrator password but that was not my question.

i know that wasn't your question. that is why i asked why. i want to better understand the problem so that i can help you. have you weight the consequences of removing that menu even if it is possible? how will you get into safe mode if the computer has problems?

I have ghost and a seperat backup hdd.
If you know any way to do this please inform me.

i think i may have found a way. it is very iffy though. if you replace Ntldr and Ntdetect.com with the same files from Windows NT 4.0 it might work. all of the searching i did came up with nothing else. It may not be possible. maybe you should see if you can find a way to make the computer ignore the keyboard until a certain time in the boot up process.

if you want to do some more research on your own the technical name for the menu you are trying to disable is "Windows Advanced Options Menu"

Thanks for you help. I will wait a day and if no one has a other way you get the points.
But what do do i need to change other then replace Ntldr and Ntdetect.com from Windows NT 4.0?
