Is the Windows Boot Manager Really Necessary?

Hi,
I'm on Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. Whenever I do a restart, Vista does ok
with it, but I get the
Windows Boot manager every time and either there's a 30 second countdown for
the computer to automatically choose
booting with the highlighted option (which is the Vista OS) or I can press
enter and choose the Vista OS option myself
and save 27 seconds or so.

Is this something that I can get around ? Saving 30 seconds would certainly
speed up my boot time and this process
really seems unnecessary. I appreciate the extra time Vista offers and in
some cases, it would come in handy,
but not with every day computing for sure.

I appreciate any assistance. Many Thanks,
Frank
