Whoops your M$ heritage is showing.

On Linux "per-user" values are usually stored in individual
configuration files located in their users' ~ (/home/) directories - not
in a single, fragile and all-embracing nightmare called The Windoze
Registry.

Linux is much more logical and user-friendly. Hence the existence of
simple configuration files capable of containing copious configuration
hints and explanations - something omitted from the XML monstrosity.

Centos is like a hot sunny day - a true joy to experience.
