Changing Boot Order

About a week ago I set up a dual boot with Vista Premium. Contrary to
all the hoopla, it seems to be running perfectly. The only problem is
that many of my favorite programs won't yet run on it.

Therefore, I would like to change the default boot order. It set up
automatically so that Vista boots unless I wait around and change the
selection. Is it possible to change this so that XP boots be default
instead. After all, the programs I use most are still in XP.

Thank you
 
Hi,

The easiest way is to run msconfig from the start prompt. On the boot tab,
click on the XP entry and then 'set as default'.
