On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file
which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when
you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You
would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too.
So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is.
Just an idea for you to think about.
Another option would possibly be to figure out whether you can access any
part of the exe file directly and modify some of it. Possibly add a few bytes
at the end which you can treat as structure storage and write the settings
to. I dont remember if the framework will checksum the exe when it loads it
or if this only happens for strong named assemblies.
