You could add code to the Init() of the form to locate the file, read it, and set the desired values. You're not limited to using a text file; you could read the values from a .DBF, the registry, or pretty much anywhere you'd like.

You might want to delegate the responsibility for reading the initialization data to another section of code; you could read in the values and then pass the information to the form as parameters when launching the form; they'd be received by the form's Init method. If you have a large number of values to pass, it might be worthwhile to create a parameter object (nothing more than an object that is used to pass data back and forth; the information would be stored in properties of the parameter object, and then pass just the one object reference in, extracting the information from the object's properties.
