Just use the "Save Profile" button on the main screen - that will save an XMBCP file which you can then load.
Note: Once you load the XMBCP file, this will become the "default" settings file, so you can put that elsewhere on a different drive.

Alliteratively, find XMBCSettings.xml file in the XMBC folder under your user profile (appdata) folder. HOLD CTRL and left click the XMBC icon in the system try to open this folder directly. Its effectively the same thing but the native settings file.
