Take Advantage of Isolated Storage with .NET

(Mike Amundsen) Many applications commonly handle user preferences. Application developers often need to store items such as the arrangement of windows on the screen, default color selections, and other values somewhere so that the application can call them up the next time the user loads it. In addition, now that most Windows operating systems support multiple user accounts on the same machine, keeping track of this information by user is critical.

Finally, developers need to be able to store it in a safe location. With the increased emphasis on trusted computing, you can't allow all users to have complete access to any file or folder you create.
