Get Rid of Ms-Dos Option at Boot Screen

I just upgraded from Windows 98se to Win2000. But, now everytime i boot up, there is this annoying screen after the bios that wants me to select Windows 2000 Pro or Ms-Dos. Although i can just select 2000, i want to get rid of it. Its annoying, and it may confuse others.

Go to the startup options and set 2000 as the default and set the time to wait to 
0.  To get there, right click on the My Computer icon and choose properties.  Then 
click on the Advanced tab and look for startup and recovery.  Once you set 2000 as 
the default, you can edit the boot.ini file and remove the reference to DOS if you 
will not need to boot into DOS.  2000 does not use DOS.  If you still need to boot 
into DOS, you can leave the reference.
