dadvan25,

Fire up a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) & execute the following command:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Enter the password.

In the editor, find the line
default 0 and change it to
default 4
Save the file.

From the next reboot, Windows will be the default choice.

With Regards,
Zombie.
