Changing boot menu countdown timer

If your computer has more than one operating system installed, you can change countdown timer at the boot menu to any number of seconds by editing the boot.ini file located in the boot partition
( Usually C:/boot.ini ).

Ex:- [boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(...

Changing "timeout=30" value to "timeout=5" will make the boot menu to appear for 5 seconds, the value can be anything between 0 and 999.
