saving changes to textbox values

Hello,

There's probably an overly simple answer to this, but I would like to be able to type in a value for a textbox during runtime, and then when the program is restarted, it retains the changes. I know I can create a text file, and then read from the textfile to keep up with changes, but is there a quick and dirty way to save the value for the control directly?

I'm using VB.NET 2005.

Thanks,

Sam
