Time Delay Express VI default to show as icon?

I am really only intrested in the Time Delay "express vi"

 

This is the only express vi I ever use and it drives me nuts everytime I drop it in and this HUGE box takes up space for nothing.

 

I would really love to have just the one VI able to default to Show as icon.

That is one of those things where I just say you learn to live with.  For the amount of time you are saving by dropping in that Express VI over wiring up your own timing scheme, the few seconds it takes to right click/show as icon aren't that big of a deal.

Part of me says that Express VIs should be as annoying as possible so they go away.  But, in the spirit of trying to be helpful I will offer one suggestion.  I have created a subVI which only contains the time delay Express VI.  You can add this to the Palette (ie. user.lib) and go to Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Set find the SubVI, right-click and select Place VI contents.  Now when you choose this version it will drop in as an icon.
