Default Importing text

Hi, I wonder if you can help?

When you import data from a text file to Excel you use a wizard that has
three screens. The first screen asks you if the file is delimited and
the second screen asks you for the delimiters. The default is Tabs but
the data I import most often uses Semicolons, so I have to go to the
second page and check the box for Semicolon.

Is there a way to set the default delimiter to Semicolon so I do not
have to go through that exercise all the time?
