Scott- this is very much an application design issue. Application wide settings are often held in a custom App object with properties specifying things such as company name, data path, etc. My framework instanciates an object like this at app startup, and in methods called from my base form class' load event, each form checks for the existence of the object and set its own properties with the values of the app object.
