Preserving My.Settings across a rebuild.

I have an application which stores settings in a user file.
This is because the application though being designed to be run by a single
user will have the settings being updated on the fly, and will need to save
the settings. This excludes application settings due to their readonly
nature.

The problem I'm having is that when I rebuild the application, it changes
the assembly data and creates a new folder in Local Settings\AppData and
creates a new user config file, with the default values.

As it's likely that post-deployment, new updates will be rolled out, it's
unacceptable having to keep resetting everything.
For version control, each update will need a new file version as well, which
also creates a new folder and a new config file.

Does anyone know any way round this?

Thanks in advance
