Ok, I have a program where you input your stats. I want to know how I
can add a button that will save your stats, so you can load them next time.
I'm not sure what kind of file I would use to save it as.

Can anyone help me with the saving the information part?
Thanks, you guys always are a lot of help.

you can save it as any type of file. just create it with CreateFile then read/write to it with ReadFile, WriteFile. not sure where your problem lies.. the file 'type'/extension does not matter at all

Okay, thanks, I just needed an idea on what code would be used. Thanks.

the inbuilt settings section in visual studio (in your project's settings) is 100 times easier.

here's some links that should help.

Save it to a file or registry?

Use registry... It makes more sense than going oldschool and creating a .dat type file (unless you want to make these settings portable with program)
