I was well past that point - it was already well into the boot process for any
password to be be needed (unless you installed a BIOS password).  So using my
suggestion above won't do a thing.

I believe Alan Zisman provided the RIGHT answer to this one with his note
describing how to edit C:\MSDOS.SYS to NOT prompt you for what to do.  If you
have problems, just post that file (it's all text) and we can point out
exactly what you need to do.

Also look at http://www.computerhope.com/msdossys.htm (only one of many such
search results for "msdos.sys options" on Google (without the quotes)).  Note
the BootMenu= section - that should fix your issue.
