How can I set a default baud rate in TeraTerm?

When I launch TeraTerm for use on a serial port (like a USB port), the default (initial) serial settings are 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity bit. It's possible to change these via the menu with Setup->Serial port, but if you are connecting/reconnecting a lot, it gets to be a pain to manually change it every time you relaunch a TeraTerm window.

There is, however, a way to configure TeraTerm with a different default baud rate. You just have to edit the file TERATERM.INI. This file is in the folder (directory) where TeraTerm's executable is; to find it, right-click on the icon you use to launch TeraTerm and do "Open file location". In that folder, there should be a file called TERATERM.INI; right-click on it, then choose Open with->Notepad (or any other plain-text editor; don't use MS Word!). Search for "baudrate"; the line you find should be something like

BaudRate=9600

Change 9600 to whatever value you like. Then save the file; you may want to make a backup of the original TERATERM.INI first (I called mine TERATERM_FACTORY.INI). Then when you launch TeraTerm the next time, this new baud rate should be the default. You can also change the defaults for DataBit, StopBit, Parity, etc.

I tried manually setting it every time, but that grew old pretty fast.

Go to TERATERM.INI file, it should be in the same folder as teraterm, it has a default baud rate and default COM port setting, just change it to what ever you like.
