Is it possible to disable incremental linking by default in Visual C++?

Visual C++ Express 2010 gives a linker error (LNK1123) unless /INCREMENTAL:NO is selected in the linker options. I am using VC++ for teaching C++, and I have to do this for every project I create (as do the students). Is there any way to set /INCREMENTAL:NO as the default setting for new projects?

The underlying problem turned out to be due a MS linker bug: cvtres.exe references a specific version of msvcr100.dll (msvcr100_clr0400.dll). This version of the DLL disappears when the .Net framework is updated, so cvtres.exe fails with LNK1123. To fix this you have to install the Visual Studio service pack. Alternatively just replace cvtres.exe with the updated version, which is a few bytes bigger (31056 bytes instead of 31048).
