In Windows Explorer type %APPDATA%\Subversion in the address bar. This will
take you to the folder where the configuration is stored.

Open the file named "servers" in a text editor like Notepad.

Scroll to the bottom section and add:

[global]
http-library = neon

This explicitly sets it to use Neon. Keep in mind, that it looks like
TortoiseSVN is already compiled with Neon as the default, just as SVN 1.6
is. So most likely this will not change anything. I do not know when
TortoiseSVN changed the default, so it is possible you have a client
compiled with Serf as default. It is worth a shot anyway.
