Its Easy! Right click "My Computer" Go to "Properties" Click the "Advanced" tab Click the "Settings" button under the "Startup and Recovery" section Choose the OS choice you WANT to boot under the "System startup" section's "Default operating system" Uncheck the "Time to display list of operating systems" box Click "Ok" Your Done!, Next time you reboot, it wont give you that annoying OS choice menu! IF you chose the wrong one, dont panic, you can just hit F8 in the bootup process and there is an option to select os choices.
