Hey,
I have set up a dual boot system with xpsp2 and xp64. Would anyone know how at the boot when it displays the os choices to make it default to xp it is highlighting the xp64. I just want it to default to the regular xp for my wife who has all her settings on that os.
thanks

All you have to do is change the OS in the drop down menu in the "Startup and Recovery" box to the one you want for default. I'm not sure why you would want to do it manualy? If there is a reason to edit it youself I'm not sure what it would be.. :scratch:

Hey Guys,
I saw Kev's screenshot and when I went into the properties I did use the drop down menu and it works no problem.
Thanks
