From the Videolan FAQ:
Windows 95/98/ME: C:\Windows\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc

Windows XP/2000: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc

Open VLC once, go to Settings -- Preferences, change something, select Save, then look at the file.

You can also build m3u playlists with customized VLC options for each different playlist item.

For instance:

#EXTVLCOPT:fullscreen
#EXTVLCOPT:sub-file=yoursubtitlefile
#EXTVLCOPT:video-x=100
myplaylistitem.avi

#EXTVLCOPT:no-audio
#EXTVLCOPT:zoom=0.5
#EXTVLCOPT:video-x=500
mysecondplaylistitem.avi

etc...

Most VLC config option (that can be applied to inputs) can be used in the "#EXTVLCOPT:foo=bar" line.

You can have the list of all the config options with (vlc --advanced -H).

VERY handy command, Gibalou. Thanks for mentioning it.
