update zotero with admin account, do I keep my configurations?

I use Zotero standalone on Windows 7, with a user account that does not have administrator rights. I have a password to login as admin to install software.
Under the normal account, Zotero gives me a warning: "A recommended update is available but you don't have permission to install it."..
If I right-click on the Zotero executable file and open it as administrator, I can install updates. However, all setups and configurations, plugins and my library have disappeared. I do not want to loose my configuration (because it took long to set-up and I'm not sure if I can restore it easily).

**If I update the program as admin and then use it again with my normal account, do I keep all my configurations, plugins and library information?**
