You can save your list to the registry with SaveSetting
Then, when you app loads do a GetSetting to get the set of values for your textboxes.

For saving, you could do something like this:

Dim AppName As String 
Dim AppSection As String 
Dim SectionKey As String 
Dim KeyValue As String 
 
AppName = "MyBrowserApp" 'your apps name
AppSection = "Settings" 'the section where you want to store data
SectionKey = "BrowserNotes" 'the data name
KeyValue= "This is what I need to save on my notepad" 'the data value  
 
SaveSetting AppName, AppSection, SectionKey, KeyValue 
 

For getting, you can do something like this:

Dim AppName As String 
Dim AppSection As String 
Dim SectionKey As String 
Dim KeyValue As String 
 
AppName = "MyBrowserApp" 'your apps name
AppSection = "Settings" 'the section where you want to store data
SectionKey = "BrowserNotes" 'the data name
 
KeyValue = GetSetting (AppName, AppSection, SectionKey, KeyValue, "") 
 

Important to note that AppName, AppSection and SectionKey must all agree between GetSetting and SaveSetting.
