By default NT shows OS selections for 30 seconds before choosing default. Anyone know how to modify that number programmatically w/ VBScript.

I don't know enough VBScript to give you a step-by--step, but the setting is contained in C:\boot.ini. You'd need to remove the read-only attribute, change the line that reads "timeout=xx", save the file, and re-apply the read-only attribute.
