Lilo and GRUB enable you to change the default OS.

You set the default OS with the "default" command. Here's the reference to it in the GRUB manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...b.html#default
If you want to dual-boot with WinXP, your menu.lst file might look something like this:
timeout 15
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
# (0) Linux
title Linux
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda6 ro vga=794
initrd /boot/initrd26.img
# (1) WinXP
title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
