      Are you using the GRUB boot manager or LILO or a different boot manager? You need to edit the config for your boot loader and change the Default=# so that # = the number of your Windows partition info. If you are using GRUB then here is the manual, read it, know it, love it:http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html.

        All those details can be found in the manual...

          RTFM and welcome to the linux world. You'll hear that phrase at least twice for every question you ask regarding linux.
