If you have more than one operating system installed on your computer, you are likely have to deal with the OS selector that Microsoft installer configures during installation of another Operative System.

If you have more than one OS, Windows by default gives 30 seconds in the Boot Process to select the OS you want, such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. If you use only one OS most of the time, you would definitely save booting time if you set that OS time  selector to at least 3 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

With Windows XP Home and Professional lowering the OS selector time value is very simple.

To gain a few seconds in the boot process, please follow the instructions below.

Don't forget to check the Video Tutorial at the bottom of this blog.

1. Go to Start -->  Run --> and type MSCONFIG

2. Once you are in the Configuration Utility click on the tab BOOT.INI

3.  Locate the Timeout Box on your right and change it from 30 sec to 3 sec.

4. Once you are done, click ok and you are finished.
