The number after the word "default" controls which is picked automatically you count starting from 0 down the list of possible choices, in your case 3 should point it to windows.

There is a line with "default". This is the index of the entry that is used by default. Just change that.

I am sure someone will take a look, but another easy way of changing the default boot order is to install startupmanager.
Do a search in Synaptic, (can't remember if I got it through the default repository or medibuntu)
