You can use My.Settings. Just search the forums, there's tons of topics on it.

Go to your Application properties and make sure that the check box "Save My.Settings on Close" is checked. Once you check it, you can take all the "My.Settings.Save()" and Reloads out of your code. You only need to store to it and it will automatically save.

Glad it works for you though.
