Add color swatch upon launch?

Question

Hello,
Is there a way to add a color swatch (in this case, PANTONE Solid Coated) into the CS4 AI color pallete so that it's permanent upon launch? It's a hassle to have to open this color swatch every time I launch AI.
Thanks

I tried this over and over and never got anywhere, out of frustration I finally gave it another try months later. It is RIDICULOUS that it isn't explained better but it is truly VERY simple.
Here is the trick (Windows 7)
Either open a file or Navigate to and open the default swatches file you would use most often (In my CASE it is Basic CMYK.ai or PRINT.ai)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_US\Swatches\Default Swatches
There, I add the swatches I want delete others (especially the stupid gradients that are included).
THEN Save the file as and overwrite the original file.
HERE IS THE KEY: open a new file (FILE / NEW) and then choose  "NEW DOCUMENT PROFILE"
and choose the swatch file you edited (In my CASE it is Basic CMYK.ai or PRINT.ai)
FINALLY you will have the default swatches you created. If you use a lot of different profiles you will have to do it again for each one.
