Generally, it's under `C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\TOAD_VERSION\User Files`.

Be sure that Toad is not running when you make edits to Toad.ini or any file in the User Files folder.

You can be sure to find the right one this way:

1. In newer versions of Toad, go to `Options -> Files and Folders -> App Folders`. If you don't see that section in Options, to `Options -> General`.
2. Under “Application data directory” section click on “Open folder”
3. Keep this folder open in Windows Explorer and close Toad.
4. In Windows Explorer, go into the User Files folder. Toad.ini is in there.
5. You can double-click Toad.ini to edit with Notepad. Save it before opening Toad again.
