The location for the defaults databases(!) is in ~/Library/Preferences. 
Each default domain is archived in a file named like the bundle 
identifier of the application, i.e. com.apple.windowserver.plist. As 
the name indicates, these are property lists (the XML variant).

I don't know the whereabouts of the NSGlobalDomain archive, though. 
This is not in ~/Library/Preferences, ~/.MacOSX, /Library/Caches. Maybe 
someone else knows where it is.

Cheers,

  Marcus
