I have upgraded my os from xp pro to windows 7 ultimate. the only problem I have is at start up screen I get what looks like a dual boot option but one of the options is xp pro setup. It appears Ive had a failed attempt to install xp at some point. My question is ow do I just bypass the start up screen and go straight to my desktop. I've tried EasyBCD but the xp pro setup doesnt show up. Thank You for any response.

If you don't mind keeping the old XP entry and just want to skip the screen then you can achieve that by merely setting its display delay to zero. Here's how to do it in Windows:
Go to Control Panel --> System --> Advanced
In the section Startup and Recovery click on Settings. This will open a window that allows you to set the display interval. Set it to zero. Make sure the drop down list named Standard operating system shows your Windows 7 installation and not XP. Click Okay. You're done.
You can do the same in EasyBCD:
Click on Edit Boot Menu. At the bottom you will find the option Count down from. Select it and set it to zero. On the same page there's also a setting called Skip the boot menu. This could also do the trick. In any case, make sure that in the above list of operating systems your Windows 7 installation is ticked as default system. Save settings. Done.
