[SOLVED] Changing default OS on Grub

I have dual boot Mageia And Windows
When i installed Mageia, i could not set windows to default system even if there were possibility to change line orders.
MMC-Boot-Set up boot system, there is no options to change default OS

I found with search something that i have to change
/boot/grub/menu.lst

How i do it, i tried to open it with kwrite, but it looks like empty.
I know, the reason is priviledges...
How I open it with Root priviledges?

Thank you for helping Linux Newbie

MCC -> Boot-> Set up boot system -> click Next
-> select entry you want to set as default -> click Modify
enable checkbox "Default" and then click "Finish".

Was that so hard?

No, you're not, we all had similar moments, just being blind to something. :)
