Secret configuration file?

[Iano]

Does anyone know where Civ IV keeps some of its configuration information such as resolution? I know its not in the My Games / Civ / CivIV.ini file. You can verify this by changing to some weird resolution like 1152, and then rename your My Games folder to My Games_ forcing Civ IV to recreate your initial configuration. The resolution will not reset to default... I've combed my hard drive with a text search for "1152" and the registry with no luck. Where are these hidden settings saved?!

Found it...

There is an Application Data folder for Civ IV. The profile data file is located here.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Profiles\Default Profile.pfl

The file is not in plain text editable form, but this file definitely stores your resolution settings.
