go to /boot/grub/menu.lst
On the line saying "default X", change X to 1 if it is 0, and vice versa.

I think you can't do that. Though i don't have much knowledge about linux. I also dual booted ubuntu with xp. The above answer is not a solution to your problem because boot.ini handles only the operating systems managed by windows' own boot loader. But when you install linux it installs its own boot loader . so it appears to window as is there is only one operating system installed.
