I have the exact same question, worse still, 98 is the default on my boot menu.

Haven't a clue about Win2k, but for Nt it was a hidden file in the root, "Boot.INI". May be the same.....

You can also at least set the default boot OS from the system properties/Startup_Shutdown section - again I'd imagine they carried the location over.
But then again it's Microsoft, who needs it to be easy?.....

It's hidden and read only.
