This is the method I use. It works fairly well.
Encrypt and write registry values
"And most of the evils of society can, in fact, be cured through information. We have a society that has been disinformed and based on the disinformation has made irrational choices. And that's what I mean by 'ignorance.' People, who ordinarily might be smart, are deprived of the data by which to make a rational decision, don't have the data to do it."

PS: I know the sample only shows connection strings but it can be modified to save other info also. The nice part is it's encrypted so you can keep sensative info there aswell.

Actually, if done correctly, a textfile should be more efficient. It would also be easier for users to take settings with them when they format or go from computer to computer.

I've used both and there really isn't that much of a difference. in performance between the registry and text files. I only use the registry because I don't want users to be able to take/read the text files for security reasons. Using the app.config to hold key value pairs for config info works pretty well also if hiding your config info is not important to you. Lemme know I have the code for that also.

You're gonna throw it into the registry? bleh!
Throw it into an XML file. Or a spreadsheet. Hell, you don't have to have it in table form when saved, just when it is displayed.
You could even serialize whatever you are using as a table to save it.
