The default Host Properties dialog (View / Default Host Properties or select the 
button) contains the same Tabs that you would see when you select the Settings of a specific Saved Host Entry, with the exception of the Authentication Options which only exists in default Host Properties.
Any settings defined here in the Default Host Properties dialog will automatically be inherited by any new host entries you create. These settings are also used when you connect to any machine directly from the Browser (AD Browser, Microsoft Windows Network Browser, SAM Browser), which will create a (temporary) entry for this machine.
After you have finished making your changes within the default Host Properties dialog, you will be asked if you also want to apply these changes to any of your existing Saved Host Entries as well. (provided you have also enabled the "Prompt for updating existing host entries" setting on the General Options Tab within the Local Global Options dialog).
