Look for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) on Windows, similarly to how this is done on other platforms.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
