There's no built in tool in Windows 7 to change the boot menu. However if you need to change the default boot OS to be XP instead of windows 7 or you need to change that ugly "Earlier operating system" line to a nice "Windows XP", or any other boot menu related task, you can use a small free tool called EasyBCD.
IMPORTANT:
If you need to rename the "Earlier.." to "Windows XP" or something, first make sure the XP partition is visible in Windows Explorer. If not follow the instructions in How to add the missing XP partition, and then do any changes.
(When I installed Windows 7, I had my XP in the boot menu but it was not visible in Windows Explorer; using EasyBCD then made my XP not bootable. Adding the partition to exporer and then running EasyBCD fixed the issue).
