How to change default appointment start and/or end times?

[Rodd Hall]

When I double click on a date while in month view in order to create a new
appointment, the window pops up with the "All day event" box checked. I
almost never schedule all day events, so I almost always have to first
un-check this box, then enter the correct start time for the event. How can I
set the default so the All day event box is UNchecked and the Start Time (and
End Time if possible) is set to a time of my choosing?

Double-clicking on a calendar view that does not show a time scale will always
create an all-day event and you can't change that. Clicking New on the
Toolbar will create a timed event no matter what calendar view you're using.
