Client Windows Registry

The Wurm Client, in Windows, stores preferences between sessions in the Windows Registry. This includes username and other settings that you select in the login window.

The preferences are stored in the registry branch starting at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\wurmonline\client
