It utilizes NSUserDefaults...

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/
UserDefaults/index.html>

...which is built on...

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/
CFPreferences/index.html>

under ~/Library/Preferences but consider using defaults [1] command 
line tool instead.
