I think what this /default command line option does is tell JAWS to not only load the default configurations, but also allow one to make changes temporarily. In other words, once one has unloaded JAWS the changes will be permanently lost, even if they restart JAWS in default mode. Haven't tried this in a while, but I believe this is what it does. I hope this helps.
