Most apps create entries in the Windows Registry that may also hold various configuration settings. Settings that are particular to different user accounts on the PC are stored in files created in the hidden “AppData” folder inside each accounts user folder. Files that contain settings applying to all users of the app may get created in the ProgramData folder.
