Add this to the bottom of /boot/grub/grub.conf

title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

That is assuming that Windows is on the first partition of the first
hard disk device.  After you added this, reboot and try it.  There is no
need to run any application for the change to take effect, because the
boot time GRUB reads the actual grub.conf file.
