Default Change Default Settings for Data Import

How can I change the default settings from importing data into Excel? For
example, the default setting for format is "fixed width" but most of the
datasets that I import are "Delimited." When I select "Delimited" the
default Delimiter is "Tabs" but my delimited datasets are Comma Delimited.

What would be really cool would be able to set the defaults according to
what template is being used, because sometimes I use a template where the
data are Fixed width delimited.

Thanks.

Jim
