I modified the master page of a site and I would like to make all new sites that get created to use this master page by default. Is there a way to modify the built in site templates to use this master page by default using SharePoint 2010?
Thanks!

What you suggest is actually going to break your warranty with Microsoft but there is a safe way of doing it.
You can use an event receiver for Site Provisioned / feature stapling, and set the master page in there for the new site.
Previous answer that should give you what you need to know: Apply custom master for new site collection and sites under

That's unfortunate that it's such a hack to do this. Seems like something that people might want to do often. Thanks for the quick reply! Commented Dec 19, 2012 at 20:54

It's by design I'm afraid, Microsoft don't want it made easy! Commented Dec 19, 2012 at 20:56
