When using a Settings.settings file in .NET, where is the config actually stored? I want to delete the saved settings to go back to the default state, but can't find where it's stored... any ideas?

The settings are stored in user. config. Full path: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\<Company Name>\ <appdomainname>_<eid>_<hash>\<verison>\user.
There is a folder called "Properties" under your project root folder, and there are *. settings file under that folder. That's where it gets stored.
Settings. settings is located in the My Project folder for Visual Basic projects and in the Properties folder for Visual C# projects.
It depends on whether the setting you have chosen is at "User" scope or "Application" scope.
User scope settings are stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Local Settings\Application Data\ ApplicationName
You can read/write them at runtime.
For Vista and Windows 7, folder is
C:\Users\ username \AppData\Local\ ApplicationName
or
C:\Users\ username \AppData\Roaming\ ApplicationName
Application scope settings are saved in AppName.exe.config and they are readonly at runtime.
