How can I avoid having the boot options screen popup ? I only have Win2000 on my machine and it seems pointless.

You can do this by editing the boot.ini file, found in the root directory (C:\boot.ini). You can change the timeout parameter to
timeout=0
or edit the following to:
[operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

Adding the switch at the end of the line should cause the system to skip the boot options screen.
