On a Windows machine, the VS Code user settings file is located at %AppData%\Code\User\settings.json.
What is the location of the file containing the default settings that show up in the left pane when we open either the user settings file from the location mentioned above or by going to the File -> Preferences -> Settings menu?
There is a storage.json in the %AppData%\Code\User\ but that doesn't look like the whole settings.

How to reset VS Code to the default settings 1 Go to View > Command Palette or press Cmd + Shift + P (macOS) or Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows). 2 Search for open settings json and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) which show ups from the result list. 3 Delete everything inside the root braces and save the file. 4 Relaunch your VS Code.
As you've stated yourself, the default location is the root of your system. At least, if you aren't working in a folder. What you could do, of course, is simply open your ~/Desktop as a folder in VSCode. Then, automatically, your default save location is exactly as you'd like it to be.
As @Scott McPeak pointed out the defaults are not stored, however if you override any value the overrides are stored on a *nix system in:
~/.config/Code/User
you can find the default settings for user C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Code\User
