Using MSCONFIG To Change The Boot.ini

The boot.ini file is a hidden read only file. If you change the file attributes, you can edit the file and alter the way that your computer boots. Of course, this should only be performed by experienced users since a simple error can leave your system unbootable.
A safer way of editing the boot.ini file is to use the System Configuration Utility included with Windows XP. First of all it eliminates the chances of making typographical errors that could otherwise occur. It also allows you to configure several advanced boot options. You can open the utility using the steps below:
- Click Start and click Run.
- Type ‘msconfig’ and click OK.
- Click the boot.ini tab to make changes to the file.

Changing Boot Ini_Regret to say I could not Risk this: Have not enough
knowledge, and You do not give any Explanation nor How and What to
do. If yur letters address only Most Experienced Users, it would be
safer to give Warnings.
