Which file should I edit so that my default startup ...

Guys,

I'm currently multibooting Win2000 Pro and Mandrake Linux 9.2. It uses the bootloader that came with Mandrake Linux 9.2.

Which file can I edit in Mandrake so that my default startup os is Win2000 Pro and the default timeout is some other time instead of 5 secs?

Where do I edit this?

Thanks.

System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer->Boot->Boot Loader

Then go from there.
