Dual Booting Windows XP and Xandros 4.0

Hello there kind people. I have Windows XP running on my computer and I am going to install Xandros 4.0

I want to dual boot the system but I want it to default to Windows XP. I know there is a file to edit and perhaps some other setup that needs to be done but I can't really find what I'm looking for by searching the Internet. I know how to partition the hard drive, set up the swap file, etc, but after Xandros has completely loaded I need to change something. I just don't know what it is I need to do.

Can anyone out there help me with this endeavor?

Thank you.

In ubuntu, you need to edit the menu.lst file in the grub folder. But xandros is very cool about it, as I remember (its been a long time) there is a way to change it without editing any files. There's an option in the control panel that lets you change the order. It's very easy to do.
