Does anybody know offhand how to switch my boot order? I'm running Vista and 7 on the same hard drive.

Right now it's defaulting to Vista, and unless I switch it to Windows 7 before 30 seconds, it boots Vista.

I want to be able to turn on my computer and walk away and have 'er run windows 7.

TIA

EasyBCD is great. The

EasyBCD is great. The command line 'bootmgr' program for modifying the Vista bootloader is a royal pain, and way too verbose to use. The same site also has a handy tray app for setting one-time boot settings for OS's, so you can right click in Vista to reboot in 7 and vice versa.

The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what you want.
