Just trying to figure out if I need to include myApp.exe.config when I XCOPY
the files to another PC?

Depends if you have custom settings or info for the loader etc in that file.

You can deploy an app without the .exe.config file but obviously it won't be
read.

That's what I thought, thanks. Definitely don't want to keep any sensitive
data in app exe.config.

Yeah its probably a bad place for sensitive data (frankly anywhere on a
client machine is a relatively poor place to keep sensitive data).
