You could try using enblend or smartblend, this works a lot better in 
case of badly aligned images.

Not directly, but you could create a dummy project, add one image, set 
all the settings, remove the image and save it.

Then you can create a link to hugin on the desktop and use the filename 
of the default pto file as command line argument. Hugin will load your 
project (with your defaults) then.

Sound useful, I might add that later on.
