Settings suddenly gone? Startup wizard appearing now

Hello,

Really freaking out now... because when I restarted my computer and booted up sabnzbd, my settings seem to be gone. I'm concerned because I spent a while configuring this thing... and I had a lot of help from a friend of mine. It took a while and I'd like to not have to set it up again.

Can someone tell me where exactly the settings are stored? I might try and do a restore if possible. I don't know how or why something like this would have happened. Seems silly and random.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: I've gone through the wizard... and confirmed that my sorting and categories settings are indeed gone.

Depends on your OS. See here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc18

I figured out what happened.

When I got on my work laptop and connected to my work server via VPN... somehow sabznbd switched its settings location to my laptops username instead of the username it's been ALL ALONG. I have no idea why it would do that, and I'm not sure how to set it back.

Is there a way I can tell it where to look for the settings.... since it seems to have decided to change that on its own?
