title: Application settings methods? c++
body: <p>I am thinking about adding configurable settings to an application, and I think the easiest ways are an external file or win registry (its a win only app).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Which way would be better?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I was wondering, an user with not enough permissions may not be able to create/write the config file. And in the case of the registry, would todays antivirus allow me to add/edit/remove keys? Or they only monitor certain keys?</p>
  
  <p>Also, if someone knows a class/lib to manage config settings (in pure win32) in vc++ please post it.</p>
