You can save changes to configuration (by using configuration in the right way). This will create files at user-local or user-roaming levels, I expect it will at application level as well.

But consider that the user running the application will only be able to do this is he/she has sufficient access to the installation directory—this will not normally be the case (and will likely require UAC escalation).

I'm not sure, but it's it more appropriate to make your program handle that exception and then use default-values unless there is an app.config?

Since that file is just standard XML, you could just use XmlTextWriter to create it.
