It's stored in the Registry as the Default value in this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Hints\<Username>

Where <Username> is the name of the User account. Note that this is the name the account was created with, which may not be the name seen on the Welcome screen.

Open a command prompt and type Set Username to see the correct name for the current user.
