Surely it saves the settings into a user-specific part of the registry?=20
e.g. on Windows, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ or under Unix, in a directory=20
structure under the current user's home directory.

Isn't that enough? Or are you in a "shift-rotation" system where users=20
do not log off and log on as their own unique user?
