How do i stop MBP booting into Windows automatically?

I have a new MBP late 2008 and bootcamped with XP.

When I boot up and leave, it always boots now, into Windows?? unless I stand and hold down the alt key?

How can i stop this happening and get the MBP to boot into OSX first and foremost when starting???

Mac Pro 10Gb * Macbook Pro 2Gb (late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hi pitchfork,

in the BootCamp Control Panel there is an option to set the Deafult Startup Volume.
Set it to the OSX volume and reboot.

Or hold down the 'Option'-key at startup and choose OSX to boot from.
Oncce in OSX goto System Preferences - Startup Volume and set the Default to be OSX.

Regards

Stefan
