    How do I edit Grub?

    I've got XP,Win 7 and ubuntu 9.1 on triple boot.

    The grub menu defaults to Ubuntu, but I need to change the Default to Windows.

    All the instructions I found said that I need to Edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst

    but there is no such file on my system.

    I tried editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg using gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg , but it wouldn't let me save changes

    Is there some other way to do this ?

    Thanks

    Install the program start up manager. It offers an easy way to edit Grub. To get it type this into terminal.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install startupmanager

    ...unless he wants only to edit the GRUB menu:

    sudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst
