You seem to be mixing up application settings and user preference settings.
Application settings can be stored in a standard .config file, though this is read-only as far as the app is concerned. User preference settings are more of a problem - I guess XML files somewhere in the user's home directory structure is the obvious solutions. It's a shame GConf isn't available under windows as it's a nice mechanism to use with mono under linux :) Rus.
