Automatically opens a template, cant create to spec

[heidiak]

Why does illustrator open up automatically to templates when I Command+N or go to the file menu to create a new file. 

I cant find a way to create a new file to specification.

Have you tried going to Preferences>General and checked the Use Legacy File New dialog?
