hey guys, i don't know if i put this in the right area but here i go.

I am dual booting XP and 7. when i start up, i have a menu to choose which OS I want. is there a way to get windows 7 to start up by default and just have a keyboard shortcut to get into XP? im trying to reduce my boot time.

Yeah I don't remember exactly right now but you can change the default select boot and the default OS. But yeah you can do that (not the keyboard shortcut, from what I know). Just set your time to something where you can press like the up key so you don't always boot into 7.

Change Default OS or This one has Pictures

Change Boot Time

Good to know when I throw 7 on as a Dual boot
