Location of git config on Windows

I installed git on my Windows machine while it was connected to my corporate network. It picked up on that fact and used a mapped drive to store its configuration file.

As a result, I cannot currently use git when disconnected from my network. It throws the following error message: fatal: unable to access 'Z:\/.config/git/config': Invalid argument

Obviously this value is stored in the registry somewhere because I made an attempt to uninstall and reinstall git with the same results. 

Can someone give me some guidance here?

Best, Daniel
