How to set the default .NET framework for new projects in VS2013?

.net, project-settings, visual-studio-2013

Solution

The easiest way is to just change the default .Net Framework version in the new project dialog.

- Go to File -> New Project

- At the top middle switch ".Net Framework 4.5" to ".Net Framework 4"

- Click the project you want

From that point on the "New Project" dialog will default to ".Net Framework 4"

Problem

I'm working on a project that targets .net 4.0, It won't be changing to 4.5 in a hurry. When I create a new project it defaults to .net 4.5. Is there anyway I can default it to 4.0 either globally at the Visual Studio level or (more preferably) at the solution level?
