Where are global settings stored?

sometimes after logging out and in again, my settings in Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/VC++ Directories are lost.

To investigate the problem I tried to find the file where Visual Studio (2008 Team) stores those settings on disk. (Or is it in the registry?) Can anybody point me to where it is?

Thanks a lot!

I had a problem setting the Max Concurrent Builds on a CruiseControl.NET server and found that while the settings are stored in C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Settings\CurrentSettings.vssettings The settings are also stored in the registry and the registry settings override the settings in that file Try looking in the registry in: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ Seems like any non-default settings are stored in the registry too
