It sounds like you are dual-booting XP Media Center Edition and XP Professional.

If that is indeed the case, to make the changes you want do the following:

Right-click My Computer and choose Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Under the Startup and Recovery section press the Settings button
In the drop-down box choose your Default Operating System (Media Center Edition)
If you never boot into XP Professional, and don't plan on it in the future uncheck the Time to display list of operating systems option
or
Set the value of that option to 1 second, so that you can still choose between them if you want, but the default boot will be fast.
