I just opened an old Max5 file in Max6 Beta and the patch chords are very thick, black and overpower the view. Is there anyway to change the size (thickness)and/or colour of them all at once (without selecting them or using ALT+select), either in Max5 or Max6?

Is there a way to set a default size or colour for them when I open a new patcher?

You should be able to change the colors of patch cords from the "Options" menu. Choose "Object Defaults..."

also, for general cord highlighting, try View-->Hide Foreground, then you can do control-A for Select All, and do what you wish to them all at once...no dragging :)
