How to set the default Marker Symbol

[SteffenCornell]

I hate the stupid little size 4 simple circle for point feature classes.  What if I wanted every point layer I added into the map to show as a star or a diamond?  Is this possible?  If not, why would ESRI not include this functionality?  Seems so very simple.

Steffan,

You should be able to change it using the advanced ArcMap settings utility, have a look these links:
