Where is the physical location of the "CA Cert" Burp uses?

Under https://portswigger.net/burp/help/proxy_options.html#listeners_requesthandling it states"Burp creates a unique, self-signed Certificate Authority (CA) certificate, and stores this on your computer to use each time Burp is run" Where is the physical location (on the file system) of this cert that Burp uses?

Burp stores this within the default Java preferences store for the current user. The location of this is OS-dependent, and is within the user's section of the Windows registry or a folder in your home directory.

I'm on Windows 8.1 Core. Is the CA Cert located in HKCU\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp\"ca/Cert"? Or is it in another key?

That looks like it, yes.
