You shouldn't loose any of your settings as the upgrades usually don't change the settings or interfere with your own data, but for the 1.7.0 upgrade you must follow a slightly different method as outlined in the upgrade text file.
I usually drag my existing xampp folder holding down the Ctrl key to make a
Copy of xampp folder then if anything does go wrong I have a fully working copy to revert to so I can try again - just a case of renaming the
Copy of xampp folder back to just
xampp to re-establish my working installation.
This method also allows me to check the settings have indeed not been changed and acts a very useful backup.
