Timothy is right, read up on grub, if i recall you can define your own 
custom stuff in a template config file, grub will use it when generating 
a new config file.

also i moved my window boot menu by editing the grub.cfg by hand, and 
have performed many updates. after each kernel update and one upgrade 
from 10.04 to 10.10 my window menu placement has not changed. could be 
coincident, not 100% sure!
