Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cleaning Windows

Hi :)

To put Windows or pre-existing OS at the top of the boot menu
Launchpad question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+question/108890

    on 2010-04-30: It's trivial to move 
Windows to the top of the GRUB2 menu. Open a terminal and enter:

cd /etc/grub.d

sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober

sudo update-grub
Grub1 was possibly slightly easier because you just edited a text-file to put the Windows entry 
above the Gnu&Linux ones but Grub2 can do more and the code is more modular so it's easier to 
update apparently.

The boot order is determined by grub automatically the order is normally the last Linux distro 
installed, any other OS's installed. (I am not completely sure how this order is determined). So if 
you have installed Windows, Ubuntu, and Debian in this order the boot menu would likely be Debian, 
Ubuntu, then Windows. Debian as the last installed would be first.

As far as cleaning Windows, I have seen recommendations for doing a complete reinstall every 1 to 2 
years to clean out all the accumulated garbage that you can not get rid of. The time period depends 
on how much adding/deleting of software is done. This beyond the normal virus scans, general 
cleanup, defrag, etc required.
