VB Configuration file encryption

Hellp, my name is Don, and I'm doing some development in visual sdution, VB 2005.

I have done som research looking for Encryption of the configuration file generated when I create my executable. I have a Windows Setup deployment project, and I would like to encrypt the configuration file. It seems not to be too difficult from what I read if you are doing a WEB project, but I can't figure out how to encrypt a Windows applicaion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
