Q:

Customise default 'New Stored Procedure' SSMS 2008 Template

I am trying to customise the default query which is put in place when you click New Stored Procedure... from the Object Explorer on SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
I have found how to change the 'Create Stored Procedure (New Menu)' template from the Template Explorer, however this means I will have to keep opening the template explorer rather than clicking on new stored procedure like i usually would.
How can I edit the template which appears when you click New Stored Procedure... ?

A:

For SQL Server 2008, find this directory :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SqlWorkbenchProjectItems\Sql\Stored Procedure\
or for those on x64 Windows,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SqlWorkbenchProjectItems\Sql\Stored Procedure\
Within are 6 .sql files:

Alter
Create Basic
Create with Cursor
Create with Output
Create from New Menu
Drop

Edit as you like!
For SQL Server 2012, 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\SqlWorkbenchProjectItems\Sql\Stored Procedure

A:

Works for SSMS 2005 and 2008:
In the menu click View/Template Explorer (or Ctrl-Alt-T)
Within the Template Explorer which opens, find: 
Stored Procedure/Create Stored Procedure (New Menu)
Edit: Additional explanation
Right click and choose Edit in the popup menu to alter the file directly.
