Hey.
I play xpiratez, but i think this is an general-openxcom-problem.
Today, all of a sudden, openXcom was resetted, as if i had it newly installed. I had to re-select xpiratez and set all my videosettings and controls as well.
As i wanted to play, my safegame was not in the load list, even when the folder was insert correctly.
I opened the savegame with notepad and saw, that it was corruped.

Luckily i had a security copy of it, i just lost some in game days.
Is this a known issue?
Can it be prevented from happening again?
Thank you

There is no such known issue.

Can someone point me in the direction, where the openxcom settings-file is stored?
So i can make a safe-copy. This happens once in a while, and everytime i have to set the screen settings, shortcuts ecc.

Since your screenshot indicates you are using a non-default installation location i can only tell you where openxcom looks (using: https://github.com/OpenXcom/OpenXcom/blob/master/README.md (https://github.com/OpenXcom/OpenXcom/blob/master/README.md) as reference).
The file is called "options.cfg" and should be in the "User and Config folder" in one of the paths mentioned below.
If that file exist in multiple places i am unsure which would be the one that is actually used (tip: file modification time could be useful here).
Windows
User and Config folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\OpenXcom (Windows 2000/XP)
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\OpenXcom (Windows Vista/7)
<game directory>\user
.\user
Data folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\OpenXcom\data (Windows 2000/XP)
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\OpenXcom\data (Windows Vista/7/8)
<game directory>
. (the current directory)
Good luck
