Re: Change Defaults for SharePoint Document Libraries

The template's got to come from somewhere... That library list
template goes in the Gallery for the entire site collection. In the
Gallery, I would delete the template(s) you don't want them to use so
they don't show up on the list when you click Create. If you have
multiple site collections you need to do the same thing in those
collections as well as whatever top level portal you may have
connecting them together.

ThanksLori,
  Is is a good start and I appreciate the time you took to answer my
question.  However I am looking to change the Document Library Template
enterprise wide, not just for a single site.  In additon, creating the new
template did not replace the existing template so folks can still create Doc
Libraries using the default template that does include folders.   Is there
any way to *replace* the default Document Library template for ALL Sites/Site
Collections?

Edit the existing library such that all of the features you want
enabled/disabled are set  and add/remove any metadata that you will want to
have in all new libraries. Now you're going to create a list/library
template.

1. Click Settings --> Document Library Settings
2. Click Save document library as template
3. Name the template (URL)
4. Name the template (Title) - make this meaningful enough that you will
recognize it in the gallery
5. Check the Include Content box
6. Click OK

The new library template was added to the gallery. When you go to the Create
New Content area (/_layouts/create.aspx) for your site, the library template
will be at the bottom of the Libraries category list.

This works for all lists and libraries. Sites can be templated in much the
same way.

Allowing the creation of Folders within Document Libraries is set "Yes" by
default.  
How can we change this to "No" when new Libraries are created without first
creating the library and then changing the settings?  (Document Library |
Settings | Doc Library Settings | Advanced Settings | Display New Folder)
