You are saying that your GRUB correctly boots both Linux and Windows XP, but you want the default selection to be Windows ... If so, open an editor such as KWrite as root, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
AFTER you edit it, it should look something like this:
=================================================================================
timeout 15
color cyan/blue white/blue
foreground ffffff
background 0639a1
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message
title Windows at hda1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title MEPIS at hda2, kernel 2.6.12.3-onion1
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.3-onion1 root=/dev/hda2 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.splash
title MEMTEST
kernel /boot/memtest86.bin
=================================================================================
That is, the default is the top entry -- you're reversing the order of the entries ...
