TWO WAYS TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PROJECT OPTIONS

You can change the default project options (which is being used by every new project you create) from Delphi GUI:

1. Create a new project (File | New Application)
2. Go to "Project | Options" and change the options as you wish.
3. Check "Default" checkbox in the tabs which you changed options in.

If you rather change the options "manually," you can do so using a simple text editor:

1. Edit defproj.dof file located in your Delphi's BIN directory (C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 2.0\Bin for example) using Notepad or any other text editor. If you don't see the defproj.dof, create one using your favorite text editor in the Delphi's BIN directory using the following format:
