I am new in the linux things. I have installed Fedora Core 5.0 beside my windows XP. Installation passed very smoothly. I was really surprised, was my first time to install some linux distribution.
But I have a litlle problem and need your help to solve it. After this installation, every time when I turn on my computer, fedora boots by default if I dont press key. I want my windows boot by default. How I can set that?

Youll have to first boot into fedora. Then open a shell. In it type su then press enter on your keyboard. Now youll have to enter your root password; then type following command:
gedit /etc/grub.conf enter
Text editor will appear. You will see in it default0.
This option means that linux will boot first. To change that instead 0 type 2 (default2).
Reboot your system and youll boot into windows.
