Setting type: String
Scope: User
default are set by initially entering into settings screen however as i mentioned i put in a firtrun detection which sets the settings in code to the desired default paths then call the: My.Settings.Save() method. But as i said, this makes no difference at all, because as soon as the user shuts down the program and then goes back to it later the settings have been reverted back to the user documents folder rather than the Public documents folder. Forcing the user to reset the paths once again, after that it is fine and stays at the Public Documents.
It is a bit madding. Driving me crazy.
I am one step away from creating my own settings provider.
