Question

I have app that uses Settings.
To save settings I use:

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

To read tham I use:

Properties.Settings.Default.MyCustomSetting;

In my folder with application I have only exe file.
No config files. My application works good, can read write settings.

Where is that file located if it is not in application folder?

Answer 1

On My Windows XP machine, the settings are saved in a file called user.config somewhere under either C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\ or C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\

Update:

On Windows Vista and later, the locations have changed to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\ and C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\
