Automatically boot GRUB MENU to Windows OS

Hi, I was just able to configure my Linux (Ubuntu) OS’s GRUB to boot automatically in Windows. Usually, these kinds of problems arises when some of your family members want to use your pc or laptop and then finds themselves confused on why the screen that pop-ups is not in windows. Then they’ll restart your pc or laptop again and again until they are already tired and ending up with ruining your computer.

The SOLUTION? Simple,

1. First you’ve got to edit your menu.lst file under grub folder. Type in the following in your screen: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (Make sure you know your sudo password) then hit the enter key.

2. When the page loads, change the line where there is the words default 0, then change the 0 to the number of position where your windows is in the GRUB. (NOTE: You dont have to restart your pc just to know the position, all you need to do is to find it in the lower section of the menu.lst file, count the position then subtract 1 [coz counting starts from 0].

3. After that, you can click save or you can edit furthermore by uncommenting the hiddenmenu [This is to make the GRUB when you open your pc to be hidden].

4. Hit save. Then try restarting your pc. Then that’s it! Happy editing!
