    Go to /etc/grub.conf and change the default value from 0 to 1.
    I'm using fedora but I think it would be the same on red hat.

    edit your GRUB configuration file (should be /boot/grub/grub.conf). There should be a line that says default n where n is an integer. You can either change that to point to the Windows entry or you can reorder the entries yourself so Windows is the first one. If Linux is the first entry, Windows is the second entry, you would change default 0 to default 1.

    onething
    /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/grub.conf are same.
    Sorry, it was unintentional.
    You should have told me at least once and i could have fix it.
    thanks for reminding me.
