I found this article which helped:

owse_thread/thread/6293ec7b15c32ba3/4fb9098885d4f458?lnk=gst&q=saving+project+is

Does anybody else have another suggestion?

Hi Daniel,
Since that thread was made, .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 came with a type
safe
settings file directly accessible in code.

IsolatedStorage provides a place to store data even if the user has minimal
security priviliges and works like a regular directory exception you need to
stream everything.
There is also the System.Environment.SpecialFolder folders that provide an
easy way to get user
specific folders.
If you have project data, like a Visual Studio project I would probably go for
System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments for the projects and store the
user settings in a settings
file.

Signature
Happy Coding!
