Boot Camp Problems

Hey Guys,
So I recently put Windows 7 64-bit on my MBP 13' 2011, using boot camp.
The installation went smoothly, but now whenever I turn on my MBP, the default boot is windows. To use the Mac OSX, I have to use the "option" key during startup. How can I change this so that Mac OSX is the default boot?
Thanks!

Yup, I just BootCamped Win7 and in Windows there should be a BootCamp Assistant that loads in the Win7 tray that allows you to select the OS-X and hit a re-start icon and in 10 seconds your back on a MAC. When I'm on the MAC side I use the path bobtomay offered.

I now have the best of both and couldn't be happier in my decision to buy my 27" iMAC

Cheers

Tom

My BC Win 7 partition behaves normally as well. You're looking for a small gray diamond in the Windows task bar. Click it and you will get the option of restarting in OSX. Until you do this, it will keep booting into Windows.

In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.
