Changing Designer Defaults in VS.NET 2003

Curious if there's a way to change designer defaults in VS.NET 2003; most
notably change which font is selected by default for a new Windows Form,
etc.

Since we're past Windows 3.1 design, the Sans Serif default isn't really
that useful to me and I'd just like to change the default to 8pt Tahoma and
leave it at that.

(Welcome to the era of Tahoma, Verdana, and the Gradient Panel.) :)

Hi Brandon,

I've just been reading about how to create item templates. You put them in
the templates folder and they show up in the list of available items when
you go Add > New Item > Windows Form. The folder is \Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET\Vb7\VBProjectItems\Local Project Items\ and you need the .resx file
along with the form file.

I haven't really got this working so I hope someone else will know more.
