Held in several places.
Fonts, editor colors, field mappings, and few other GUI options are in the registry- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Options]
Intellisense is in home()+"foxcode.dbf"
MRU lists and other local GUI settings are in foxuser.dbf (as many as you may have - I keep one per project)
Command line history is in _command.prg in the same folder where your foxuser.dbf is (so I have one of those per project as well).

Thanks for volunteering to automate this :).
