After I installed Ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot with windows 7 from USB ( not from wubi.exe) whenever I boot my system I was taken to the Ubuntu OS selection screen which shows ( selection for Ubuntu generic, Ubuntu generic recovery , windows loader, memory test etc). I need to change it to Windows OS selection screen which shows only two options to select from ( windows 7 and Ubuntu). Any way to change it ???

Try following some of the dual-boot guides. Back when I was dual booting, there was some sort of a windows app to customize the "selection screen". – mreq Mar 26 '13 at 13:05

You can try grub-customizer. You have to add the PPA to ubuntu and then install it. (See this question for information on PPA safety.)
From terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
Then launch it and you should be able to set windows as main selection and to hide what you want. It's not to hard to use.

What if i uninstall Ubuntu( in future if I give ma laptop to somebody) will I get any grub error,I had a system with BossLinux OS and Windows OS i formated the partition of Boss OS in windows disk management but after that whenever i booted my system i was shown grub error and system bootloops which i fixed using Windows live CD. I understand that if I have windows OS selection screen the grub error wont be happening. – samnaction Mar 27 '13 at 04:19
