Dual Boot to single Boot, see post..

On my XP machine, I installed Vista (beta) awhile back. When I powered up, I had
the choice of which OS I wanted to boot to. I have since removed Vista but I am still
given the choice of OS at startup. It wouldn't be a problem if XP was the default,
but Vista is and I have to sit by the computer for this screen to come up and select
XP before I walk away or it won't boot.
How can I get rid of the Vista listing and just have it automatically boot into XP?

Don't be mean! Tell him to just right click on my computer and do properties.
Somewhere in there is a tab that lets him set the time out and the default OS.
