If you are brand new to Linux, I would leave it alone for now, until you get comfortable with using the editors and command line stuff. But, if you must, you can edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and change the default option from 0 to 1.
So, you probably see something like;
default=0
timeout=30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-0.12)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-0.12 ro root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-0.12.img
Change the default= option to 1. The numbers start with 0 (or should), which means boot the first title entry.
You should have another entry, the second, assuming that you are just booting Windows and RedHat, like;
title DOS....this is the second entry.
Save the file and exit your editor.

This is a really nice intro to grub.
If you want to edit your grub file, make sure to check out /etc/fstab and make sure that when your boot partition is loaded that it does not have "noauto" as an option or you will not be able to view that partition.
