No offense, but they spell it out right here:

Users with "root" privileges can create scripts in the /etc/grub.d/
folder which will be incorporated into the grub.cfg  file when
update-grub is run.

    * The filename should normally take the format XX_name, with XX
being a number followed by an underscore and name.
    * The order the entry appears on the grub menu is based on
numerical ordering of the files in /etc/grub.d. Executable files in
the /etc/grub.d folder beginning with an alphabetic character are
placed in order following numerical entries.
    * The file must be made executable by typing in a terminal

Looks to me like I'd just create a file called 05_Windows (since my
linux entry starts with 10)...

OTOH, you could also just look at the grub menu and see which item is
Windows, and change GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub from 0 to the
entry you want to be the default, and update.

At least that's what I got with about 45 seconds of reading...
