    Log in as root and open /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
    Count title lines and set default value to title Windows XP line no. Start counting from zero.
    Let say, title Windows XP is fourth title line in grub.conf file. Set default value to 3.
    Code:
    default=3
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
