GRUB - change default OS to XP always

[slam5]

I'm somewhat of a n00b. I have a dual boot machine running XP and Fedora Core 14. I like my default boot always to be XP. Right now, XP is default BUT every time there is an update to Fedora, it will change the default to Fedora. I now have to edit grub.conf to boot from xp again. Is there a way to make xp always as the default even after an update?

My understanding is that this should only change when you update the kernel which should not really be necessary that often if things are working. You might try setting the default to zero (0) and move the actual windows xp entry to be the first entry in the grub.conf file. I don't update kernels often so I don't know if they are placed at the end/bottom of the file or...wherever?
