Tasks: Possible to move the reminder onto first screen? Set default time on reminder?

Tasks: Possible to move the reminder onto first screen? Set default time on reminder?

Hello. This is a two-part question regarding TASKS.

PART ONE

Is it possible to minimize the number of clicks it takes to create a task and a task reminder? Currently, when you click on "Add a new task," you fill in the Subject and Due Date on the first screen, but are required to click on REMINDER to set up a reminder on a second screen. After setting up the reminder, you must click DONE to return to the first screen where you must click on SAVE to complete the function. How can we customize this so that we can set the Reminder on the first screen? We can remove Priority and Status as we do not use these items.

PART TWO

When setting the reminder, can we customize the time-of-day drop down menu so that, when clicked on, the default time-of-day is 12:00PM? Currently, when it is clicked on, even if it says 9:00AM in the box, the default time selected is 12:00AM...which forces us to scroll down thru 24 time slot options in 0:30 minute intervals until we reach noon. 

Thank you for your help.
