Yes, I've 2 small basic procedures just for that, too - the first one reads the defauts, stores them and sets them to "" and the seconed later resets them to what they were. (And yes, I know that this is fraught with danger if the first one gets called twice by successive progs before the default is reset).
I even once perused the relevant OS source files to see whether one couldn't get rid of the functions using the system defaults, but that would be quite some work...
