How can I stop my computer asking me which version of Windows XP I wish to load?

I downloaded and installed Stardock's Bootskin app (a program that basically allows you to change to Windows boot image), but wasn't particularly impressed with the results,so I ended up uninstalling it again and thus, re inverting to the original Windows XP boot up screen again. However, sense then the boot screen asks whether I want to Run

1.) Windows XP Home Edition or

2.) Windows XP Home Edition (Original).

You have 30 seconds... etc.

Both run identically, or least as far as I can tell, and it's an irritating slowdown to the startup. Any help?How can I stop my computer asking me which version of Windows XP I wish to load?
Right click on the 'my computer' icon and open properties

click on 'advanced' tab.

click on 'settings' button in the startup and recovery column.

In the new window, click on the edit button

In the text file opened, delete the whole line containing the title you want to remove ie Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Home Edition(original).the line will be under the text [operating sustems] (generally the line is ';multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN?Windows XP Professional'; /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

';)

and save the change.

If the above does not work, do a system format to the date before the date of installing the Stardock's Bootskin app.How can I stop my computer asking me which version of Windows XP I wish to load?
from the sounds of things you cant stop it from doin it my only solution is that you save everything that you need onto a pn drive or somethin re-format your hard drive and einstall windows xp that should get rid of the problem but its alot of messin about after youve done it though you can just put your saved stuff back on no problem.
by replying it in the affirmative
