hey can teach old dog new tricks.

you not need virus protection ubuntu , wubi installs clunky , yes, once installed can change grub menu order.

need go terminal , type:

code:
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
that file need change. have , familiar close it. type:

code:
sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup
this makes backup of menu.lst before change anything, in case, then:

code:
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
you can move os entries position want. careful move whole thing. long correct syntax there, doesn't matter is.
