I have nt4 and win98 installed on my computer. When I switch the
computer on a menu is shown which gives me the option of which operating
system to boot. WinNt is highlighted by default. Can I change it so that
Win98 is the default option???If so can I change the delay time aswell???

Hi Ed,
I think you need to modify your msdos.sys file. For the time delay I think you need to modify the BootMenuDelay variable and for the 98 Windows default you need to modify the BootWin variable. I hope this helps.
