How to set windows back when I start my pc?

I installed a game called Digger on my daughters computer , and she started the game in the dos mode instead of the windows mode , the game digger is a dos game , but it does give you the option to run it in either" run in dos" or " windows" , she selected dos . Now when you restart the computer it automatically goes right back to the game instead of letting the windows enviroment load . Any suggestions?
