Where VB.Net My.Settings is Stored

Its been weeks since my last post since I've been very busy here with some projects.

I tried using VB.Net on one of my project since my Project Manager told me so because there are a few C# guys in here. I used the My.Settings feature and found out that its not getting the values from the Config file inside the application folder. And what I did is I tried to hack around the registry and my Users Folder and there I found It. VB Stores the data inside the  \Local Settings\Application Data of the Current Users Folder

   Sample:
         C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Applcation Data\<Name of Application>

Hope this one cuts some time on those starting to use the My.Settings Feauture of VB.Net

have you tried nini? http://nini.sourceforge.net

it is probably more flexible (and predictable) than the My.Settings thing.

There is no such entry at that path. Article is incorrect.

It actually looks to be under

C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Applcation Data\<Name of Application>
