How to make Windows bootloader the default?

When I got a new computer, I installed Ubuntu and Windows XP on it. When I turn it on, GRUB shows up and lets me choose between the OSes. All right so far.

"Use EasyBCD to take Ubuntu from your bootloader

EasyBCD will overwrite GRUB, after that format the Ubuntu partition: Done!

Edit: works in XP, yes"

"When else fails (otherwise use the fixboot/fixmbr method instead) and need to get back to your Windows XP bootloader instead of the one installed by your Linux distro, simply follow these instructions:

Boot up with your Windows XP disc.
Select the option Recovery Console.
At the prompt, type: fdisk /mbr
Restart your computer."
