The Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); part is important. Back then, trying to get this to work, I managed to ignore it for several hours.

Do you want to save properties of all controls of form? Or just for those u talked about?

1.You should create properties for each checkbox that controls the user interface options; you could do this by adding/editing in Visual Studio the project properties.

2.On checkbox click event you should manage to change the property value and to save its state (true or false) into the application settings by using: Properties.Settings.Default.Save()

3.On from Loading event you should read the properties values (by using the same object: Properties.Settings.Default ) and enable or disable functionaries from your forms.
