Replacing default.css and other files to be used when creating a new project

In older versions of RH, I remember being able to go to the installation location in c:/program files...  and replacing certain files, like default.css with my own version so that all future New Projects would use that css.

 

Is three a way to do this in the latest version?

    Thanks Peter,

    I made changes to the last hit on the list you sent, ...Blank.Project... and these changes came through when I then created a New Project.  I will have to see what happens when the next update is installed, but even if it gets reset to default, I can keep a copy of my custom Blank.Project and just copy back after the install

    Sure, but the next time you do a patch, it's going to get reset back to the "factory" standard - I always find it's easier to apply to the project after generating output.

    Good point.   but if I wanted to give this a try, do you know where these files are located in the install folders?  I am unable to find them.
