[LUG] grub WinXP on top

[kevin <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy New year everyone...


Just in case you happen to still be at a PC 

Does anyone know how to stop a new kernel update from putting it's self
at the top position of the grub Boot menu?

I have an almost convert from Xp to Linux Dual booting and the Winxp was
Default on Grub at position 0

but now after a few updates it is as below......... so Linux is 1st to
boot (as it should be ) but not for a WinXp user!
 I know I can remove hiddenmenu.
