The Windows boot manager, also known as the boot loader, it tells your computer how and which operating systems to load. In some cases, the boot manager may list a Windows 7 option if you've ever installed or configured a trial, beta or secondary version of Windows 7 on your default XP, Windows 7 or Vista computer. In others, a technical glitch could cause the boot manager's selection menu to load even though you may have already un-installed the secondary operating system. In either case, you can remove the secondary Windows 7 boot option and/or selection menu whether you're running a default Windows XP, Vista or 7 systems.
