I've got XP & 2K installed and I wanted to change the default options for booting and I don't see a boot.ini file to edit like xp & 98 had. Is the file somewhere else, or is it named something different?

It all depends on how you want to do it. If you want to change the order in which they show up in the boot operation, also changing the default OS, you can do it like this. While in Windows 2K, right click "My Computer" and go to the "Advanced" tab. Now click on the "Startup and Recovery" button and you will see your boot information. You can change the order from the "Default Operating System" pull down and you can also change the amount of time that it takes before the system will automatically boot to the default. I hope this helps, Jeremy
