Understanding Application and User Settings

Feb 26 2007 1:59 AM

I'm trying to understand where user's settings are stored in a Window Forms application. I have a form in the application that calls "Properties.Settings.Default" to get user configurable data from the app.exe.config file. I also have a Save button that calls "Properties.Settings.Default.Save()" upon clicking by the user. When the user click on the save button, where are the changes actually being saved?

I checked the app.exe.config file, and it still has the default values where I set from the designer. According to the msdn article on Application Settings Overview, it mentioned that the settings will be saved in a user.config file where user is the user name of the person actually running the application. I tried to search for this file but to no availability.

Thanks.
