title: Location of VS Code preferences
body: <p>My cat jumped onto my keyboard while I was coding in Dart using VS Code. The result was an enormous increase in font size for both the editor and the sidebar. To no avail I tried <strong>Ctrl -</strong>. I was unable to access settings because the large font size made navigating in settings impossible.</p>
  
  <p>In despair, I uninstalled VS Code, Flutter, and Dart. Using an administrator account (Win 7) I downloaded all three and reinstalled. I opened VS Code and found that the font size was restored. But when I switched user to my normal standard user account and opened VS Code, the font size was as it was before I reinstalled the software. This leads me to the belief that either a preferences file or registry entries had preserved my settings on a user-by-user basis. But where are  these settings actually stored.</p>
  
  <p>I do not normally use administrator privileges. They are reserved for system wide operations. It was only serendipitous that I found the two settings.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, </p>
