Apparently stroring app specific settings in the registry is taboo for .net
applications ?

Anyone care to expand on this ?

Is there an established system for storing app settings in xml config files
?

If you are using VS, right click on the project and addfile and then
select Application Configuration File.

You may also want to explore, System.Configuration namespace. and
ConfigurationManager class also.
