Changing the Default Boot

[Sir Hugh]

Hello, I'm new to kubuntu. I used to use SUSE. I don't know any coding or anything and prefer GUI interfaces. My main question is

How do I change the default boot from Kubuntu back to Windows?

Even though I like using linux, some other members of my family don't, and they use windows a lot more. They have a habit of turning on the computer and walking away for five minutes and kubuntu always boots. Again, how can I switch the default boot to windows?

Thanks.

open a terminal

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup

sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst

read the file carefully and set default to required number

Re: Changing the Default Boot

Assuming you have three Kubuntu entries, one "Other Operating Systems" entry, and two XP entries (XP and the recovery console), the default should be set at 5.
