No, you cant remove the option selection as it would permanently damage your Boot File...
Instead you can lessen the time by editing the boot.ini file...
Steps:
START>RUN>c:\boot.ini
A new notepad window open with lines like
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Just edit the timeout=xx
where xx stands for seconds...
Do not touch any other contents of the file..and after editing save it!
Note: Dont compare the boot file contents of others with yours...cos, everyone has a different kinda boot file contents...
Enjoy!

Try the above, but instead of 0 for the value give yourself 2 or 3 seconds. That's so that you can decide.

You can probably search your startup folder in either OS or even us msconfig.exe if you are using windows as well, find the program and disable /delete.

if 1 of the systems is windows then edit the BOOT.INI file on the root of the windows system drive - the file has a timeout value in it
