VS 2012 Where to store a user modified support file

$

I am adding a feature to my program that stores the application settings in a jobs.xml file. This file will be needed by the application but will be modified by the user. To start I simply have it in the program file folder but I know that's wrong. From what I'm reading it appears I should use application data folder. Is that correct for this sort of file? In any case could someone recommend an MSDN page or other tutorial or give me a better idea what to search for in my specific case? There's so much stuff to weed through out there and often I find multiple methods that all sound like they apply. I have several question so far like: Which AppData profile (roaming and whatnot) should be used? How does VirtualStore figure in? Is there a way to manage this with the Solution Explorer? How does this work with debugging? How do I install this file initially and how do I get a new file when a new user launches the program? FYI I'm using InstallSheild LE. I suspect that there's a feature set built into VS and Solution Explorer but I haven't found it yet and would appreciate any suggestions to get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
