Count from 0 up in /boot/grub/menu/lst, for each "title" you find, and
change the "default" into that: e.g.
timeout 5
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
i18n (hd0,4)/boot/grub/messages
keytable (hd0,4)/boot/us.klt
altconfigfile (hd0,4)/boot/grub/menu.once
default 0
title linux
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi
title failsafe
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 failsafe
title windows
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title floppy
root (fd0)
chainloader +1
Windows is the 3rd one, so 0,1,2. Number 2. The 6th line is "default 0"
Change that to "default 2" and you're set.
