All user options including IDE options, IDE shortcuts,  editor options, code templates and custom parameters are saved in a file called "PyScripter.ini".  PyScripter searches for this file in the following locations
a) Exe directory
b) %APPDATA% (environment varaible)
c) %APPDATA%\Pyscripter


So the default location is the user's Application Data directory .  If however the "PyScripter.ini" file exists in the same directory as the PyScripter executable then it is used in preference to the one in the user directory.  This allows PyScripter installations in USB storage for example.
Application form sizes and positions (referred to as layouts) are saved in a separate settings file called "PyScripter.local.ini.
