Anyone still running Windows 7?

I messed something up while doing a backup, so I had to reinstall everything—but now this folder is just sitting there on my C: drive and won't budge. Oh, and to make matters worse, every single time I boot up my Computer, it gives me a menu asking which version of Windows 7 I want to load... it's like the old one never even left...
Two versions of Windows??
-Computer, go to properties, then advanced system settings, system properties, advanced, and then on that same tab hit settings under startup and recovery. You'll get to system startup, and you need to uncheck—not the first box, but the second one—time to display.
As for that Windows Old mess, I actually cleared mine out when I downloaded a Windows 7 customization pack. Just grab something like that and you should find it buried in the settings somewhere—I can't remember the exact path, honestly—but you can just do that and it'll automatically wipe out those double Windows entries for you.
