Boot to Windows

Reboot, wait for your bootloader to show and quickly switch to the other system. If you miss it because you set a low time limit repeat the whole thing. Well this sucks, it would be much nicer just to reboot, get some coffee and look at the other OS when you come back.

I cant get useful information out of google on this one, so I just ask here: Is it possible to change lilo's or grub's default for the next time it loads? Of course it has to switch back again.

Re: Boot to Windows

I like the idea.  Here is another thread with some ideas (might be same as other post?). It's over a year old...
