pre-setting default symbology for exported polygon features

ESRI phone tech says ArcGIS cannot do this, but I'm hoping one of you good folks knows of a script that might.
I perform this operation many times in one day:

- I have a polygon feature class in a PGDB.
- I select one polygon and do a Data Export to a new shapefile (to use for clipping)
- ArcMap decides what symbology to use for the new layer/polygon
- Then I have to manually change the new layer's symbology (to no fill, red 1.5point outline, for purposes of printing)

Instead, I'm hoping to be able to pre-set a default symbology for polygons I export - much as with text, where you can set a default color, size, etc beforehand.

Any insights out there?
Thanks
