open a terminal switch to root  

type in  vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
hit the i key on the keyboard  
using the up/down, left/right keys   scroll down to where it says Default=0  
change to 
Default=1   

also while your in there   if your going to boot into the latest kernel
put a # mark in front of the other kernel listed.  here is a example

#boot=/dev/hda
default=0  <----- change this to 1 
timeout=8
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.760_FC3)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.760_FC3.img
#title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.741_FC3)  <---- # out the second kernel
#       root (hd0,5)
#       kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
#       initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.img
title Windows XP SP2
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
