    Changing the defaults for a new project?

    I was wondering how to do this. I just want to change the toolbox to always load a certain component, along with the other components, when I hit new project(standard EXE). I would also like the change the defaults of form1 when I hit new project. I am aware that I can just open a project, but I don't want to do that. Please help me.

    Setup your project how you want. Then save the project in the templates directory. When you start up VB it will appear as a icon in the dialog project template selection box for you to choose from.

    ?:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Template\Projects

    Thanks, I got tired of always adding references for Outlook or whatever so I figured out how VB did it and viola!
