Allow making Puppy the default when booting up #28

It's not completely clear how someone would make Puppy the default when booting up (or how to switch back to Windows being the default). For example, see this thread.

A consideration is how this would be toggled off if someone toggled the setting off or uninstalled LICK. Setting the default on uninstall to something like the recovery partition would be harmful.

This is what I did:

-open Command Prompt(admin) bcdedit /export c:\temp\bcd_save.conf //backup BCD just in case bcdedit /import c:\temp\bcd_save.conf //how to restore backup bcdedit /v //show full active entries in system store bcdedit /default {14646b0b-fded-11ea-972a-00242c3fac2f} //set default boot loader to LICK -reboot -Windows Boot Manager will now highlight LICK Boot Loader entry.

This functionality is really essential. Until it is available, for those who are scared of the command line you can use Visual BCD Editor, which provides a simple button to set LICK as default boot loader!:
