Viewing F8 option with out pressing it

Instead of clicking on F8 at StartUp to display the start up menu, we can configure it to modify.

1. Use Explorer and find Msdos.sys in the root directory? it is a hidden file.
2. Take a copy of the Msdos.sys file.
3. Open a command prompt window and type the file’s attributes
attrib –h –s c:\msdos.sys
4. Edit the file in Notepad. Under the [Options] section, type:
BootMenu=1
BootMenuDefault=1
BootMenuDelay=x
where x is the no of delay in seconds. Default value for x is 30.
5. Save the file.
6. Again, open a command prompt window and reset the file’s attributes by typing
attrib +h +s c:\msdos.sys
