Set the default settings value during run-time

I use the Properties.Settings.Default to save the user settings of my program. This includes the size and position of the Main Window. See the Picture here. These represent the default values asigned when I call

Properties.Settings.Default.Reset();

When I call

Properties.Settings.Default.Height = 25;

for example, the user setting gets saved as 25 by calling

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

When I now go for reset() and save(), the default value I chose in the Picture are again given back when calling

Properties.Settings.Default.Height;

How can I change these default values during runtime so that when I call reset(), my newly assigned values are being taken? (Even when I close the program and reopen again. It should consequently update in the Picture as well)

Changing Settings.Default shouldn't be a problem if parameters scope set to User. Parameters in Application scope are read-only. Here is my setup.

Settings.Default example

Then I use it in public field for two way binding like so.

public double CurrRateRubToUSD
    {
        get
        {
            return Properties.Settings.Default.CurrencyRateRubToUSD;
        }
        set
        {
            if (value != Properties.Settings.Default.CurrencyRateRubToUSD)
            {
                Properties.Settings.Default.CurrencyRateRubToUSD = value;
                Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
                Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();
            }
        }
    }
