Changing boot order

I've been dual booting Red Hat and Windows 2000 on my laptop for a while using GRUB as the boot loader. Is there a way to change the boot order so Windows is the primary OS instead of Red Hat?

Thanks

Grub has a configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst. There should normally be a DEFAULT label within the file that determines which OS label that the grub bootloader should go to first. As I recall, Grub starts with 0 (not 1) as the first value. So if a Linux entry is the first OS entry and Windows is the second, simply change the DEFAULT value from "0" to "1".
