SIMPLIFY BOOT UP

Nov 24, 2003 12:57AM PST

How do I get rid of the messages that appear on my screen during boot up? I always get asked for my choice in start up, 1. Normal, 2. Bootlog 3.Safe Mode, etc. I always choose normal. But I don't want to be asked anymore. Please help. Thanks.

Perfect!!!, I changed the attributes of msdos.sys to edit it, then changed the bootmenu line to 0. It worked!! Thanks. One more thing. My autoexec.bat file still displays itself during boot up, how do I get rid of that?

Franky checked with the Gypsy Lady and she
says, you cann't.

Have a cup of coffee while the computer is
booting.

So that your Autoexec.bat file does not display make the first line read as follows:
@echo off
This command works for any bat file.
