You can run MSCONFIG and change the BOOT.INI section accordingly... Make sure you don't delete the current boot though - and you would need a backup of your data just in case.

An even easier way is to goto the control panel.
Double click the "system" icon
Click the "advanced" tab
Click "settings" under "starup and recovery".
Uncheck the box "time to display the list of operating systems"
Click "edit" under system startup.

Under "[operating systems]" delete the line relating to the fake entry.
Save the file "file->save".
Reboot.
It should have gone.
