inherited code that has the terminals all placed as icons

IMHO, the stupidest thing that we deal with in LabView is neophytes creating programs and using terminals placed as icons. Space on a diagram is already at a premium....  Anyway, off my soapbox.  I have inherited code from a person who has used "View as Icon" terminals ALL OVER the diagrams. Our standard is to not do that and rather than click on EVERY SINGLE terminal (there are a lot), is there anyway that I can do a mass property change of all the terminals so they are not viewed as icons?
 
Note to NI....  get rid of that option. However, I am not opposed if some can tell me a good reason for maintaining that option and having large icons all over the place that to the uninitiated are easily confused with the similarly sized sub-vis.
 
Thanks.

I could not agree more that View as Icons is a stupid idea.  What a clutter!  Lots of wasted space.  I too have inherited code as such, and the first thing I do is to click on every single icon and change the view.  I am interested in a better solution as well.  Note to NI: please get rid of this option, or at least don't make it the default.
