You can override these rendering templates by creating your own .ascx files in the CONTROLTEMPLATES folder by adding RenderingTemplate controls with the same ID as the template you wish to override.

Note that you can only override once, and that the overrides are global, meaning all rendering templates of the same ID are overridden.

If you change any of these files, Microsoft may refuse to support your SharePoint installation.

The only thing you can change is to alter the Hidden attribute of Template elements in the default webtemp.xml file to hide or show the built-in site definitions.

These settings are global to the farm, so make sure you set the correct values and that you do not change any settings that are in use.

After setting up incoming email you can go to lists or libraries and enable incoming email. This setting is located on the List or Library Settings page, in the Communications column. Click the link and set up an email address which will receive email for the list.

You can then go back to the sofa and continue eating the pillows.
