I agree - on the Mac, there are specific places for Preferences files, and on Windows we have Application Data - although I am not sure exactly if/when permissions get to be a problem. The kind of prefs I'm interested in usually amount to a few flags which can easily be stored in a text file - of course if prefs are a lot more extensive then some other kind of data structure may be needed.
What are you favorite ways of saving Preferences?
Read in from an external file on startup; if the file doesn't exist, default prefs are applied inside the program an a new prefs file with the defaults is written out to disk. This way, if someone wants to reset their prefs to the defaults, all they need to do is throw away the prefs file.
