What is the best method to achieve this (I am relatively new to
vb.net)? Should I use an ini file or the registry? Is there another
option available in vb.net that is the preferred way? This
application will reside on our network and more than one user could
possibly run it so I don't think the local registry is the answer.
Basically I just want to remember the options the last user chose on
the form and then use those previously used settings the next time the
program is run.

I would use and XML file personally.
Also, be warned that running .NET apps from the network will give you
a lot of headaches at deployment. Do yourself a favor now and start
learning how to do it (write a simple app and deploy it to your
network, then you'll see the errors I'm referring to).

I thought a lot of that was fixed with recent 3.5 SP1 ?

Okay, I'll look into using an XML file. Thank you for the tip. I'll
search Google for instructions on how to do that.
We have a "Source Code" folder on our file server where we store all
the source code and the executable. Then any of the developers can
modify the program code or run the executable from this location.
This particular vb.net app won't actually be installed anywhere. It
is intended to just be used by the development team to easily manage/
update one of our databases.
I thought a lot of that was fixed with recent 3.5 SP1 ?
Not sure - I hope it was.
I've been in the web-world only for quite a while now so I haven't
been keeping up to speed on Window's application deployment methods.

Are the settings for all users or per user ? If the later then use
My.SEttigns and the settings designer.
If for all users, and you are using VB 2008, use XDocument, e.g:
To read:
Dim doc As XDocument = XDocument.Load( "settings.x ml")
Dim setting1 As String = doc...<setting1 >.Value
Dim setting2 As String = doc...<setting2 >.Value
Dim setting3 As String = doc...<setting3 >.Value
To Write:
Dim doc = <?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
<setting1>top secret key</setting1>
<setting2>my credit card number</setting2>
<setting3>my social security number</setting3>
</settings>
doc.Save("setti ngs.xml")
Or using placeholders:
Dim doc = <?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
<setting1><%= setting1 %></setting1>
<setting2><%= setting2 %></setting2>
<setting3><%= setting3 %></setting3>
</settings>

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
