Re: 2 sample questions
Become root (for example by using the command su), then run mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober and update-grub2. Or run both commands with sudo (sudo mv... and sudo update-grub2). When executing update-grub2 all scripts in /etc/grub.d/ are executed, in order of their names. os-prober looks for other OS (like Win). linux is adding your available kernels to the list.

Re: 2 sample questions
Install it with 'apt-get install os-prober'. I only have installed Debian on my subnotebook, so I can not try it... But if you are having a file with something like windows as name in /etc/grub.d/ just rename ist to something like 09_windows, like I have written before about the os-prober.

1. Open the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The command
less /boot/grub/grub.cfg
in a terminal would do it.
2. Find lines which begin with the word menuentry and look for one
which is do with Windows. e.g. Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)
3. Copy that. Just the bit between menuentry and the {.
4. Open the file /etc/default/grub in an editor. The command
nano /etc/default/grub
would do it.
5. Replace the line
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
with
GRUB_DEFAULT=what_you_copied_from_grub.cfg
e.g GRUB_DEFAULT=Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)
6. Execute the command update-grub.
