Yeah thats because your not using grub your using lilo. Let me check my handy dandy book here....ah yes the file you are looking for is /etc/lilo.conf
The parameter will look like this:
default=linux
Change it to whatever your windows label is. So if it says something to the effect of:
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=winblows
you would change it to:
default=winblows
