Change default class item template provided by AddClass Wizard in vs2017

Question

I want to create a class template that would account for the precompiled header if present (which happens with the default add class wizard), but I'd like to expand the barebone template provided by the wizard with a constructor, (possibly virtual) destructor and a bunch of private and public sections. I have read the microsoft pages talking about item templates, but I cannot seem to find the functionality that would allow me to account for the precompiled header.

Is there a way (even a hacky one) of modifying the add class wizard without having to create a vs extension from scrap?

Something similar seems to be possible with C# templates as can be seen from various posts advising to modify Class.cs in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033\Class, unfortunately, I cannot find the C++ equivalent.

What you want to achieve is somewhat difficult： override default c++ class template in visual studio 2010

modify item template may be easier:

1.Add class through class wizard and code

#pragma once
class Myclass
{
public:
    Myclass();
    ~Myclass();
protected:
    int test();

private :
};

2. Tool bar: Project-> Export Template->Item template

3. Then you can add custom item(may need to restart Visual Studio)

E.g.

#pragma once
class hello
{
public:
    hello();
    ~hello();
protected:
    int test();

private :
};
