# re: Config Hell

The main reason for having config files read only, IMHO, is due to permissions issues. Applications are typically installed to Program Files/*. On a locked down system, its very possible for a user not to have rights to that directory.

One alternative may be to use IsolatedStorage...

Understatement. It is NORMAL for a user not to be able to modify files there.

Just create your own Config object and implement serialization.

Or even easier, create a class that dirives from SelfSerializer
