Instead, NVDA stores your settings in c:\documents and settings\<username>\application data\NVDA, where <username> is the actual user account. This is under XP. In Vista and later they are stored in c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\NVDA, again where <username> is the actual user account. Sorry I didn't reply earlier; I was waiting for somebody else to post, but they haven't, so thought I'd post. So try looking in one of the above paths. Hope this helps.
