You can use xml file to store your data.

I've always used settings for this.

did you do something like

Properties.Settings.Default.myColor = Color.AliceBlue

If you want it to be saved in settings you have to do the next line after changing the setting
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

You can store that value in app.config file

C#

<configuration>
  <appsettings>
    <add key="countoffiles" value="7" />
    <add key="logfilelocation" value="abc.txt" />
  </appsettings>
</configuration>
