Does anyone know where the config settings are stored in the windows version of OA?

When I first set up the program on my laptop, I was working on an external 18" 1280x1024 monitor in the office.  I set the program to operate in a window, moved the window to the external monitor and then reset for fullscreen 1280x1024 through the in-game setup menu.

   Fine, expect now I am away from the office and want to run it on my 1280x800 laptop screen.  Unfortunately, the program fails to start as it can't open a 1280x1024 screen.   It then fails to open on the next lowest res and stops, with a read-only console window showing.  Therefore I can't change the settings in-game.

   If I were on Linux I could go in and alter the q3config.cfg file.  However, this doesn't seem to exist for the Windows version.  Anyone know how I can go about changing the resolution settings outside of the setup menu in the game (which doesn't now run).

   The error message from the console is shown below.

thanks,  AG

   Thanks - I'd thought it might be something to do with a 'hidden' filesystem somewhere but couldn't remember where the system was (had the problem with eMule in the past).

  Knowing that was definitely the case I was able to find the place,  however, the example given was for XP.  For Vista it's:

users>(username)>AppData>Roaming>OpenArena>baseoa
