Save defaults

Hi everyone

Is there a way to save default settings? What I mean is this I seem to be 
setting for 
almost every control on a from the same settings like stretchable to yes the 
same for 
every control. Is there not a way to edit these underlying default values and 
save them 
so that one would only have to change the setting that are to be set different 
then one 
own standard? 

Apart from the Manual and the FAQ is there a place to look up such questions?

Thanks in advance
