Interface aside, IMO it's fairly easy to add & remove entries in SyncTerm: You can press insert to add an entry and DEL to delete an entry.  And in my experience, default settings do stay.. Maybe something odd is happening on your system.  And if not written to drive C, then where should they be written?  From what I recally, SyncTerm normally writes its settings to a subdirectory within your user account's AppData directory, which is fairly common behavior in Windows; and in general, using a subdirectory of your user account directory seems to be fairly common for operating systems these days.  Windows normally stores its user account directories on the C drive, and I'm not sure I see what's wrong with that.
