But then he'll lose his access to booting Linux (unless he uses a boot 
floppy), right?
I read this to be he still wants dual-boot, but wants the default to be 
Winblows rather than Linux.

If that's the case, edit your /etc/lilo.conf - I can't tell you exactly how 
to edit it off the top of my head, but I know I've managed to figure out 
how to change the default by looking at it.  There should be a section of 
/etc/lilo.conf for each boot option.  Edit and save /etc/lilo.conf, then 
run "lilo", and you should be good.  Oh, and you do have a boot floppy, 
just in case, don't you?
