In the menu.lst file there is this section

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 
0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the 
default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default         0

What you want to do is set this default number to the entry # in the 
list.  The first one is 0,  and XP might be 3 or 4, our lists are 
quite different, mine has about 10 entries so I can't guess what 
yours is like.

Hopefully you will understand, if not include your menu.lst file and 
we'll help some more. 

Cheerio.
