AFAIK, any new DB created uses the system model DB as template. Did you try to set the SIMPLE recovery mode for it?

I am trying to change the recovery mode to SIMPLE and shrink the log file for every DB (not system DBs) in a script. In the script (below) I try to change the DB focus using the USE command, but evidently it is not working as I thought, because I get errors that say the log file can not be found in the master.
