Right now I know two ways to do this type of task,
First method, I want to explain you by giving a link. Just open it and understand yourself. Here is a link :-

Second method is,
1) Click start -> run -> msconfig
or directly right msconfig.exe after clicking start
2) click on "Boot". If there are two or more windows already installed. Click one of them and select "set as default" option and click apply then "ok"

Here you go....
You can check it by restarting your computer.....
