How do I set the EmailRegularExpressionMessage's ForeColor="Red"

I am using the CreateUserWizard and want the EmailRegularExpressionMessage's ForeColor="Red".  Ido notwish to use a content templatefor Step0 which is named "CreateUserWizardStep1" by default; because doing so disables the emailregular expression I am using also this disables the connection between the Password validation and my entries in WEB.config..  Also, I would like to set the textbox.width parameters for all of the input controls to a common width - for alignment/appearance purposes.  The default values provided by the CreateUserWizard control are different.  How can I set values for these properties without using the dreaded ContentTemplate?  Thank you for any ideas, suggestions, code examples (preferably VB), etc. that you choose to provide.  I can assure you that they will be appreciated, working with this control is proving to be a major "black hole"...........................Phil Hoop
