    1. CO@RogerN: I appreciate the response. I have posted another question [HERE](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16240528/viewing-properties-settings-default-variables) after working with the excellent option you presented above re: the built-in settings.

    2. COAre you asking why someone would want to create and set a variable in settings.settings and then change that variable periodically at runtime? There are many circumstances where that occurs, particularly in the user scope. For example, instead of using the ConfigurationManager class, especially if users have very few configuration parameters that change, the example I provided is quite handy (e.g. setting a user-scoped file path for saving data). I can be more specific if that isn't clear.

    3. COI have no idea why anyone would vote this question down. There is no debating that, for saving a single (and only a single) setting as my app does, the 5-line example works and is simpler than using ConfigurationManager. The question was, "As a new .net developer, is this a bad idea? If so, why?" My app will never use more than one user-defined setting, and I suspect others have/will run into the same issue. I'm unable to find anything that points to the pitfalls of my approach, but I acknowledge that there may be some issue of which I am unaware. I did my research.......
