Customize Grub

Hi, I looked, and hope I just didn't miss this. If I did, please just head me to the right post.

I just installed Zorin 9 along side off Windows 7. I am trying to wean my wife from Windows as she screws up the computer a lot.

I have used Startupmanager with Debian OS's, and it was orginally an Ubuntu project. I also know there is a grub customization but cannot find either program in the repostiores for Zorin/Ubuntu. How can I change the boot order and the time until grub boots to the OS I choose? Is there a program anyone knows of? I would prefer that to editing grub, but will consider instructions on editing grub too. For now I would like grub to boot to Windows 7 by default, and the ability to change it back to Zorin at some later time. I would also like to be able to vary the time to the OS boot.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Easy BCD - but you might want to consider reinstalling Zorin this way!:

You can control everything from EasyBCD panel in Windows! And your MBR never gets messed up!

I was finally able to find something online for customizing Grub that worked. If anyone else is interested here is what I found:

It is at "Ask Ubuntu".

How do I change the GRUB boot order?

You can use a PPA to install Grub Customzer and add the repository for it. It also gives you a tutorial on how to change the boot order from the command line.

I added the Grub Customizer gui. There may be some that don't want to do this as it is not an offical Zorin or Ubuntu repository. There is a link to:
(See Ask Ubuntu question Are PPA's safe to add to my system and what are some “red flags” to watch out for?.)

Also here is a little more detail on setting up the Grub Customizer from "How to Geek".

Hopefull that can help anyone that wants to dual boot.
