On WinXP Home (SP1) the start-up process was altered to show a messages about
the bios and the steps during Start-up... this display is on the screen that
has options for F1(Start-Up), F11 and F12. I would like to remove the list
of messages...Start-Up (F1) does not have the settings. Perhaps it is done
by accessing BIOS but I don't recall how to get into the BIOS.... or maybe in
a file. Can someone offer suggestions where the display is enabled/disabled
?
 
It is in the BIOS.
It has nothing to do with the Operating System or any files.
Press DEL or F1 or F2 or F10 as the machine is booting.
You mention F11 and F12 perhaps one of them.

If you post you machine type we could tell you exactly.

Hi,

One of the lines will be: "Press <key> to enter setup", where <key> might be
any of those you list. In setup (this is the system BIOS), look for a line
about boot time diagnostics or similar, probably in the boot section. It is
likely enabled and you need to disable it.

Go to the BIOS and change the option "Show Splash Screen" or similar;
instead of the BIOS info it will show a logo screen of your PC manufacture -
e.g. if IBM it will show an IBM logo or if DELL, GATEWAY, HP etc it will
show their equivalent logos.

It should still have the "Press F1 for Help, Fll for startup options, DEL to
Enter BIOS. (or whatever they might be).
 
how about DEL (delete key?).
