How do you get it to boot to windows by default?

If you remove lilo, you won't have a boot manager.
A better alternative is to have lilo boot to windows
as default OS. Most linux distro's have a gui to
configure this. DON'T set the boot time to 0. Bad
things happen.
Check your distro's doc's, as always.
