How do I change the default terminal pattern for New VI, Create SubVI, etc?

I believe at some point in the past I made some change (I believe it was a VI I made to act as a template for File>New VI, Edit>Create SubVI, and even Dynamic Dispatch template) where now my brand new VI's default to a connector pane with lots of terminals. I remember it was because I was working on some library that had the need for such a connector pane. Now it is driving me crazy and I can't figure out how to revert back. I checked for Program Files>National Instruments>LabVIEW 20##>resource>plugins>lv_new_vi.vi but I don't have anything there (if that is even what I should be looking for, I dunno). Does anyone know where this sort of thing is determined?

I think you edit the "defaultConPane" value in the LabVIEW.ini file. See this:

 

https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/LabVIEW_configuration_file/Miscellaneous#defaultConPane

 

(Click the link to "Connector pane" there and it'll give you an enum list of the different values).

 

(I haven't verified this myself, so YMMV)

If this entry exists in the ini file, just delete that line to get the default behavior back. 😄
