W2K, SP4

I ran a small BootXP250 utility that had a feature I did not intend.
It created a multiboot screen on bootup, now have to select on bootup
to start W2K. So basically, this created a multiboot option, I don't
want it.

I want to remove this program, unable to do it so far.

Actions to date:
The program after install does not show a screen where I can
uninstall.

It does not show in my uninstall utility.

It does not show in an autorun utility.

It does not show in a startup utility.

Search does not show it in C:

I reverted to a 9/18 registry, rebooted, still there.

Searched in registry, found 3 keys, deleted them, shut down. Cold
boot, still there.

How to get rid of this option?

Hey MS.

Is this just a thing where you have more than just Windows 2000 as a
listed boot option when you turn the computer on, such as where you
can multi-boot between one operating system or another? Perhaps I'm
just misreading your question but, if not, did you check the boot.ini
file to make sure there's not more than one entry in there?

W2K is the only OS present, the new bootup screen shows a choice between
W2K and W2K.

My boot.ini file:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect /KERNEL=LOGOOS.EXE
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="(Backup Line) Microsoft
Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

[boot loader]
timeout=30

Is this a normal entry in W2k, or is this the addition that could be
deleted?
