Where are the Properties.Settings.Default stored?

by

In order to work with newer versions of Windows’ policy of only allowing read access by default to the Program Files folder (unless you prompt for elevation with UAC, but that’s another topic…), your application will have a settings folder under %userprofile%\appdata\local or %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data depending on which version of Windows you’re running, for settings that are user specific. If you store settings for all users, then they’ll be in the corresponding folder under C:\users or C:\Documents and Settings for all user profiles (ex: C:\users\public\appdata\local).
