I installed Windows 7 so now its dual boot with XP.
How do I edit the Windows Boot Manager so the default OS is XP?

Thanks!

780767 2009-06-09 04:58:00 Either learn the bcdedit.exe tool (introduced in Vista; command line tool), use EasyBCD (neosmart.net) (my recommendation: I use it with both Vista and 7) or do what hueybot3000 suggested. pcuser42 (130)

I used EasyBCD which was free and worked.
