CentOS bootloader and sudo

CentOS bootloader and sudo

Hey everyone. I'm a very new user to Linux but I'm trying to learn. I installed CentOS on my Lenovo T420 and now I'm thinking it might not be a good idea as there is a lot of proprietary software that runs my thinkvantage key and my function keys.

Anyways, just to do some basic things, I noticed that bootloader shows CentOS and my windows 7 installation which is labeled "Other". I want to make the booatloader auto load windows 7 first and I want it to say Windows 7 and not Other.

I typed "sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst" I think it was to get to the file as I read 0,1,2...etc changes the boot order. Well, it says that my user name is not in the sudo list or something of that nature. How do I add myself to do sudo commands?

After I can add myself to sudo, change the bootloader order and description, I'll be back to ask a ton more questions.
