The preferences and settings of the currently signed-in user are typically stored in a user-specific configuration file located in the user's home directory. On Windows systems, this may be found in the Registry or within files in the user's AppData folder. On macOS and Linux, these settings are often stored in hidden files or directories (prefixed with a dot) within the home directory, such as ~/.config or ~/.bashrc. The exact file or location can vary depending on the application or operating system in use.
