Visual Studio - Want to default "Insert File as Text" to my templates directory.

I've created a directory of about 20 files that contain VB templates.  Each time I select Edit / Insert File As Text (image 1), Visual Studio defaults to the project folder.  How can I tell visual studio, "Hey, default to my templates folder."

I believe that Insert File as Text only works when you have a code module open, so I don't understand the comment, "Visual Studio defaults to the project folder".

I'm working on a project named "Park Asset" the project folder is named ParkAsset (Image 1).  When I'm editing a code module and I select Edit / Insert File as Text, Visual Studio defaults to this folder.  It defaults to this folder every time I select Edit / Insert File as Text.

Isn't the intent of "Add File as Text" to add template VB or CS that I've generated previously?
