    You can make the hand tool the default option by trying:
    1)Look under Preferences> Acessibility
    2)Uncheck "Always display the keyboard selection
    3)Then select the Hand Tool.
    4)Close the program
    5)The Hand tool will now be default

    To the gentleman who posted the directions on how to edit the tool with the registry editor, THANK YOU. I've toggled nearly every setting in preferences related to the selection tool and nothing helped, but editing the default selection in the registry editor finally worked.
