You can use SetOptions to change the default option settings
for any functions.
If you insert the following command (for example):
SetOptions[ ListPlot,
PlotJoined -> True, PlotRange -> All ]
in your init.m file it will be evaluated at the start of every
Mathematica session.
Note that you probably want to use a text editor such as notepad
and not the Mathematica front end.
I hope this helps.
