You need to edit your grub menu

Open a Terminal

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Looks for the "timeout" entry, change to 3

Scroll down tell you see your entrys, looks something like this (but not the same)
title Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic

Cut and paste windows entry before the linux ones.
Save and exit.

Upon reboot your Windows entry will boot in 3 seconds if no keys are pressed at the grub screen.

Cheers
