Lenny, 

Or, more direct, try: To change the default font in Illustrator: With Illustrator closed, do a FIND/SEARCH  (Logo key F) for Named:  AIPrefs  file. Then Right click, OPEN WITH and choose your  word processor of choice to open it. Then CONTROL F and type in " Myriad" without the quotes. If you wish to make something like Helvetica as your default font of choice, then type in " Switzerland " (without quotes) and when it's found, change Myriad to Switzerland (without Roman designation). Click Find Next to see if there is another entry with Myriad listed. If so, change to Helvetica also. Then Save as AIPrefs filename.  

Once you have this change made, make a copy of it and archive the AIPrefs file so if you ever need to replace the working Prefs file (not an unheard of thing) you can just replace it with your archived file rather than the Adobe original default, for then you'd have to go throught the whole thing again.
