Hi

How can I store two types of app configurations;

1. All Users: If this can be relatively easily read/modified either by
writing a simple interface or via notepad then that would be great.

2. Specific to each user: This needs to be read and modified by the app.

Thanks

Regards

If you are using VS 2005 then it is very simple thanks to the new My
namespace.  Use my.settings with a scope of user (specific for each
user) and application (read-only and are shared between all users of
that application)

This msdn article should point you in the right direction.
