If you boot with lilo then edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the line that says default=linux to say default=dos (or whatever points to the windows partition). If you use grub the default is the first "image or OS" section or you can set a default=#, where # refers to the order in which the boot partitions/images are listed in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file

<edit> of course you must run lilo to make it happen /sbin/lilo
