Is the file storing the saved settings (by settings, I mean settings set in Tools > FME Options) accessible? I would like to be able to auto-apply settings using command line tools. This could adding database connections, changing the appearance, switching python interepter etc.

These settings are mostly stored in the registry (on Windows at least).

Database and web connections are usually stored in the AppData folder in a SQLlite database file.

You can specify a new location for Database and Web Connections in FME options under default paths - you can also create public/shared connections which can be accessed from all users in your organisation.
