Which file/folder has in-game Options settings?

Posted this a few days ago in the OOTP23 forums, but seems no one is reading those now.

So I'll ask here:

https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=349670

My OS drive ran out of space, so when I closed OOTP, rebooted, started OOTP again, it re-installed itself. Thus is lost quite a few settings. I had saved backups of my "config" folder, and also of "tables" folder (which are located in different places), so I copied those back. So far, so good.

However, once I go to play a game, it has lost all the settings. Some are easy to change, but others, like camera speeds, delay times, etc., are not.

Can someone tell me which file & folder contains the in-game Options settings, so that I can make a backup once I get things as they should be again?

Thanks

Most of that data is stored in the user.dat file, in %appdata%/Out of the Park Developments/... (the same location as the app.cfg file, I believe).
