A free table? You can stuff a xml with all the settings into a memo, index it on some sort of user id, add a timestamp to know how old it is. Add the fields of your choice.

As to the directory where it'd be, you can pretty much create the table on-the-fly, so if the configuration has its own ideas of what the current directory may be, it would put the table there. Or you can have a \\server\share\yourdir defined somewhere, and add it to the endless list of things to configure.
