Powerpoint default slide deck, NOT default theme.

There's a lot of confusing answers regarding how to set the default template to use when opening Powerpoint.

A lot of people ask how to set the default template, answers usually are how to set the default theme.

Not the same thing.

Apparently, the only way I've found to actually change the default slide deck used when opening Powerpoint is to replace the file of the default template (apparently hardcoded location).

Location: %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates

Filename: default.potx or blank.potx
