Hi Albert,

Unfortunately the default fetch type can't be configured. But you can override 
the fetch command. Example which you could place in your ~/.pymolrc file:

python
from pymol import cmd

def fetchpdb(*args, **kwargs):
    if 'type' not in kwargs:
        kwargs['type'] = 'pdb'
    return cmd.fetch(*args, **kwargs)

cmd.extend('fetch', fetchpdb)
python end

However, if you don't have a compelling reason to work with PDB instead of 
mmCIF, then I recommend to give the new mmCIF default a try.

Cheers,
  Thomas
