The priority of routing table in Windows?

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Dear all,

If multiple NICs set different gateways as the default routing, how does
tcpip.sys choose the interface to send packet if the destination IP is
outsides? For example, the routing table is:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.101 20
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.169.1.1
192.169.1.101 20

Can I control the Windows to send packet always through the specified
interface, such as 192.168.1.101, even through I reset other interfaces.

Thanks!

-Liang

"Metric" is priority.
