[GIS] Looking for a way to change the default shapefile label in ArcGIS 10

arcgis-10.0labelingshapefile

Is there a way to change ArcGIS's default shapefile label Font: Aerial Size: 8 to something we are using over and over again? As shown in attached screen shot, I'd like to include a label expression in addition to a saved text symbol:

It would be very helpful to save the couple of steps it takes to change labels as I am working with hundreds of maps / shapefiles.

The default symbol for labeling cannot be set in ArcGIS. You get what you get. This is a common enhancement request though and I suggest voting for it on ideas.arcgis.com.
