In VS 2005, when you create a User setting under Project Properties > Settings:

View attachment App_Setting_1.jpg

Which creates an entry in the App.Config:

View attachment App_Setting_2.jpg

Now when the application overwrites the value of each of these keys, it doesn't write the value back to the app.config (because it needs to keep track the value for each user of the application seperately). I am guessing that it stores it in the registry somewhere, but a registry search didn't yield a result, which makes me think maybe its encrypted.

Does anyone know where in the registry these values are stored?

Thanks,
Pete
