It is better to keep settings in the registry. that is MS best practice.

I am writing an application to run on TS/Citrix. Is it better practice to
store a file containing user-specific application parameters/settings
somewhere under the user's home directory (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%) or under
the user's application data directory (%APPDATA%)? I need to support
load-balanced user sessions so I need to put this information in a location
where it will be universally available. I understand that the home
directory is often mapped from a network location but I don't know if this
is also true of the application data directory. Thanks.
