| 1141629 | 2010-10-04 09:07:00 | I have recently installed win7 on a new partition on my hard drive, now when starting up, it defaults to 7 each time, and I wish to start in XP, so have to choose each time at start up. How can I change the priority to XP first? I have seached Google, but the two ways so far suggested, neither worked. It is not a big issue, just an annoyance. |

| 1141631 | 2010-10-04 09:15:00 | You can either boot into Win7 and start/run, type msconfig, go to the boot tab change the boot order here (highlight the XP entry set it as the default). Or press windows key + pause then go to advanced settings / bottom settings and change it here (top option). Similar to where the boot.ini info is in XP | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Similar to where the boot.ini info is in XP Dear Speedy, very many thanks, I couldn't find "start/run" in win 7, but followed your other lead carefully, and all went fine, problem cured. Thank you, Carl |

| 1141635 | 2010-10-05 09:54:00 | Sweet no probs, in Win7 (cant remember exactly now), you have to right mouse on the taskbar / properties first start menu / customise. Then tick run first. Then run will appear when you click on the globe/orb | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
