Windows stores credential data within the LSASS process, which you can
query to some degree by calling LsaCallAuthenticationPackage (there
should be documentation on this in the MSDN).
Configuration data is stored in a variety of places depending on what
you're after and not all of it is exposed to applications. What kind of
data are you looking for?
