Dual boot setup, is there a better way to do this?
This is a discussion about Dual boot setup, is there a better way to do this? in the Customization Tweaking category; What i want is for the Win9x/Win2k boot menu to remember which OS i last selected, and use it as default. What i do at present is have a MSdos batch file in the startup of each OS which changes the Boot.

You will have to edit these files to point to your install of Win2k. http://website.lineone.net/~winger300/BOOT.W2k http://website.lineone.net/~winger300/BOOT.WME
Then put each of these files in their respective OS's startup folder...
http://website.lineone.net/~winger300/boot2k.ba1 http://website.lineone.net/~winger300/bootwme.ba1
I had to rename the .bat files to .ba1 cos my webspace provider is funny about them. Just rename the .ba1 to .bat
That should do it.
