How to include an Action template in new action automatically???

How to include an Action template in new action automatically???

Basically QTP does not provide any option to include a piece of text -template- in every new action. 
However there is a workaround of doing this. We will call it as "Action Template".

Steps to do:
1) Go to folder inside QuickTest Professional installation. Normally it can be found under C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\dat
2)Inside folder create a file by the name "ActionTemplate.mst"
3)Open it in notepad and include the information you would like to see whenever a new action is created.

Insert a new action in QTP and check it !!!
