If you want to get to the path programmatically, you can do it using the Configuration Management API. For example, here is how you can get the local user.config file path:

*Note: You need to add a reference to System.Configuration.dll

Configuration config =

ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(

ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal);

Console.WriteLine("Local user config path: {0}", config.FilePath);
What is the difference between application scoped and user scoped settings?
Why cant I change application scoped settings at runtime?
Where is the user.config file located in a non-Clickonce app?
Why is the user.config path so obscure?
Why is there a version number in the user.config path?
