make computer startup w/ WinXP @ GRUB menu - ASAP


I have Windows XP home edition, FC3 2.6.10 & FC3 2.6.12
Yesterday, I just updated FC3 2.6.10 to FC3 2.6.12. After the update, instead of having Windows XP start automatically, FC3 2.6.12 started automatically in GRUB menu!

Is there a way where I can make the Windows start first?
Is there a way I could "delete" 2.6.10 from the GRUB menu[to save some disk space]?

Thanks
Bryan

not only do you expect our voluntary members to email you the answers offsite but they must use a certain email subject if they wish to be allowed to help?? that's impressive...

edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the default option there. also remove whatever you want, but deleting the kernel is not really necessary unless you must have that 35mb back. just remove it with rpm.

shrikant.odugoudar - not nice, not nice at all. A moderator had already called him out on the offline contact, there was no need at all for you to do so as well.

Either contribute or don't bother posting.
