Where are application settings saved?

Question

I am trying to store some persistent application data so I\'ve added a setting to the project by R-Clicking on it, selecting properties, then Settings tab and manually enter

That value is stored in the APPDATA folder under your user profile. For Windows 7 look in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\

There will be a folder named based on how you configured Visual Studio. Since my copy at work is registered to the company, the default value is my company name. Since my copy of Visual Studio at home is registered to myself, the default value is my name.

AppData is a hidden folder, that won't show up if you navigate via Windows Explorer. But if you type it into the run command it will open with no problems.
