Default Restart Windows XP into a specified other partition

Is there a tool out there to do this? I've a few different partitions and I'd like to be able to restart the computer and go make a cup of tea, instead of sitting there for the menu screen.

Default

You could right click on My Computer, select Properties, the go to the Advanced tab and from there click the Settings button under the Startup and Recovery section. The top most item allows you to select the default OS that the machine will boot into, and the time it will display the menu. You can then click OK and reboot.

Once you're finished working in the other OS repeat the step to switch back to the original.
