Change What fields are displayed when GAL is first opened

We are running on Windows 2003 R2, Exchange 2003 SP2, and Outlook 2003.  I want to be able to change what fields are displayed in the GAL as soon as the user opens the GAL.  I'm not talking about the properties of a user in the GAL.

I can't find anything specific on how to do this or software that can do this. Any help is much appreciated.

mind if i ask for some clarification?

Are you talking about the fields such as
Name, Business Phone, Office, Title, Company, Alias etc...?

OR..

Are you talking about which listing in the GAL shows up first when the hit the drop down menu?
You can set what listing shows up automatically on the user's local machine. So lets say you work for a company that has multiple locations... A, B, C, D, E.  Your user is at location D.  You can set them to automatically see Location D's address list without having to select it.

Open the address book. Select Tools >> Options

There is an option that says "Show this address list first"
Select the address book for location D
