How to set a default Work Item Type for web UI

Hi - I'm checking to see if there is there a way to set the default Work Item Type for the Web UI. I know how to click the drop down arrow to see the full list of work item types, but many users will just press the center of the button and create a new Defect. I'd like to know if I can change the default type in the configuration somewhere.

Thanks

Does anyone know if this is possible?

There is no explicit default, but it is possible:

The default type is the first entry in the type list.
The order of the list is the same as in the process configuration.

So you can move the desired default type to the beginning of the section

configuration-data xmlns="http://com.ibm.team.workitem/workitemTypes"
id="com.ibm.team.workitem.configuration.workItemTypes"

in the process configuration XML source.
