Change intellisense autocomplete for Try - vb.net

Question

When you type try and hit enter, it automatically types out
Try
Catch excError As Exception
WriteLog(excError)
End Try
This is not a snippet, I've looked. The snippet version has ApplicationException instead of Exception. Does anyone know where this is stored so I can change it?

You did not identify what version of Visual Studio, however here is how to modify the default Try/catch code snippets in Visual Studio Community 2015:
Tools -> Code Snippets Manager -> Language [Choose desired language in drop down] -> Code Patterns -> Error Handling
Highlight the desired code snippet and take note of the value in the location textbox above the split panel. Close Visual Studio as the .snippet file is most likely in use with Visual Studio open. Navigate to the path listed in the location text box and open the .snippet file with your favorite text editor. The .snippet file is a xml file; the actual code that is inserted by Intellisense is contained in the <Code><!CDATA[[]]></Code> node at the end of the file. Modify the code in within the CDATA block to what you wish Intellisense to insert for that code snippet and save the file.
Here is what the default <Code><!CDATA[[]]></Code> node should look like in the default Visual Basic Try/Catch snippet:
<Code Language="VB" Kind="method body"><![CDATA[Try
Catch ex As $ExceptionType$
End Try]]></Code>
