    In Fedora, log on as root user and navigate to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. To log in as root, open a terminal window and type su -, hit the Enter key and you will be prompted for your password, enter it. Open the grub.conf file with a text editor and change the number after the word "default" at the top. If you want it to boot windows, you need to count down the title entries to the windows title entry and put that number after default. Fedora still uses grub legacy so you count starting from zero. If windows is the third title entry, you would put a 2 after default.
