Hallo Giorgio

You need a batch . You would have to change the line 

       MENUDEFAULT=bootsection-name, waittime

in config.sys. I am not completely sure, but I think it doesn't matter much
where that line stands in your config.sys.

So one way to do so would be: create a file c:\config.bak containing everything
you need but that line, and create a batch with a menu of your boot
configurations that will 

       echo MENUDEFAULT=bootsection-name,0 > c:\config.sys
       copy c:\config.sys + c:\config.bak

or, simpler, perhaps, keep a couple of config.sys and autoexec.bat files which
contain nothing but the commands needed for your selected configuration in a
subdir and copy them over the to the boot dir before rebooting. In any case,
make sure a writebehind-cache is emptied before rebooting.
