I have built an application that currently stores user connection
settings in a binary file. Of course it takes a lot of work to add in an
extra parameter to be saved because I have to modify how the data is
written to and read from the binary file. I wanted to know what the
standard practice is for storing user settings. Should I be creating a
properties file when a user chooses to save his settings? Are they meant
to be used at the user level or the application level? Are there other
ways to do this same thing (besides using the windows registry)?
thanks
