Look for a hidden, system, read-only file in the root called BOOT.INI

If you wanna esealy edit your boot.ini and NT BootMenu, , you can have a look at WinImage BootPart : it's a small tool that can help you tweak your menu.
And if you really wanna know what's inside boot.ini : go at Microsoft support in boot.ini explanation section.
