store users settings

what would be the best way to store user settings, i.e. window locations, options, etc. would i use .ini files, the registry, or something else? thanks, Rob -- There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Have you considered using Application configuration files(yourapp.exe.config) or using isolated storage. I think isolated storage support per user settings. Regards, Kannan

Many people seem to have differing views on this subject, however I have written what I think is a handy class for doing something like this, check my following article: An extension for a Configuration Settings class in .NET[^] -Nick Parker

from what i understand the app.exe.config file is readonly. if this is true then i can't use it. Rob -- There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

This may sound like self-advertising, but I published something similar that may (or may not) fit our friend's needs: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/CFGLitepack.asp So, now.. if he wants to use XML, he has Nick's class; else, he can use mine :-) Ain't CP great? F.O.R.
