Why reboot goes to Windows by default?

Anyone know how to set the pref. so that I can walk away after restart and it automatically goes to Mac OS instead of Windows?
As it is now the only way I can boot in Mac is to hold the option down.......
thx!

When the computer has finished booting, open Control Panel. There's an applet there called "Startup Disk." Open that and tell the computer which OS you want to boot to as a default. When you install Windows the default changes to Windows, so you need to go to the tool and tell it otherwise.

THanks Glenn, you mean when it finishes booting in Windows?

When in Mac OS X, go to System Disk in System Preferences.

Yes. No Control Panel in OS X. ![Wink](http://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/wink.gif) If you have selected to boot to OS X, do what Art says above. Same app, really, and it does the same thing.
