The show is awesome! Rev3 network should just take over some obscure channel that nobody watches anymore, like, i dunno, MTV?! What's the M stand for? Def not MUSIC.

Ok, enough ranting. I run msconfig and surprise, surprise, no boot tab. Is there access to the "boot tab" via regedit or some other hidden place?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm running two towers. One has XP Pro SP3, the other is XP Home SP3, neither has that boot.ini tab and i recall that it had it when it was first installed @ SP2 (OEM ver from newegg). Did SP3 do away wiht this tab?

I have SP3 and the boot.ini tab is still there.

This might be the solution: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/bootini.htm

mine does too. all it is anyway is just a copy of the hidden "boot.ini" file in the root directory of your boot drive
