I have just been playing around trying different things and thought I would get people's thoughts on it (not that anyone will be interested).

I have found that you can append a lot of plain text on just about any file without harming the usefulness of the files. (bmp, jpg, gif, dll and even exe).

I found that nothing prevents you from appending text to the open app's exe file and reading from it. So basically you could store the settings in the exe file by just appending it. (I imagine you would have to be very careful not to erase any part of the file).

Like I said it is just things I was playing with,
