How you cahnge the default depends on which boot control software you are using. Within WinXP: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gettingstarted/multiboot.asp
You can also right-click on My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Startup --> and choose the OS you wish to boot to.

For a multi-boot and partitioning software, try V-Com's System Commander and Partition Manager (free with System Commander).

Brilliant, this is perfect it does exactly what I was searching for. Changing the default setting and rebooting with a couple of simple mouse clicks. And it is even freeware.
