Upgraded to VS2010 Ultimate and when right-clicking on a project -> properties -> application tab, you get the assembly information. Right now it says Copyright Microsoft, etc. I'd like to default this to our company's name so I don't have to do it by hand for each project. Is this possible?

The "Company" value in a project's "Assembly Information" (which is also used in the "Copyright field") is pulled from the Windows Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization
Note: on 64-bit machines if you're running Visual Studio as 32-bit, you'll need to configure this Registry value instead:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

I think this setting depends on the data you entered when installing windows.

One approach that I've used is to use Linked AssemblyInfo.cs files. This is basically a AssemblyInfo.cs file that contains your company information and is put at the root of all the source code. Then all the projects just add this file as a link in their projects, Solution Explorer -> Add Existin Item -> .. select_file .. -> arrow_on_left_of_add_button -> Add As Link
See the answer from TcKs on this question Using AssemblyInfo to automatically update multiple AssemblyInfo.cs files
