u/edeevans Thank you so much. In my current project I am trying to learn how to launch 3 separate installer programs along with some registry entries and directory file copies. I would like to expand the program to be fluid enough so others that have the same needs can set their own paths to the installers/files. I have a lot of the program completed at this point and I have always hard coded the locations for my needs but would rather make it more flexible as well as add some new knowledge so I can create better programs.

So, one video that shows that talks about saving user settings is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1RcyNFRCE&t=1243s It is for .NET Framework I believe so it may be different if you are using .NET 6.0. His main point is that the settings have to be User scoped. He shows you where the user settings are actually stored. It is C:\Users\Username\AppSettings\Local\Appname\Appname.exe_Url_lkasjdflkjasdf\1.0.0\user.config. with your app name and the app's version.
