on the Application tab, check "Save My.Settings on shutdown". then create the variable on the "Settings" tab.

to access the variable, simply type "My.Settings.'your variable name here'.

Thanks for you reply, i tried that earlier then "My" comes as error(warning?) - it has a blue line under it..

I want it too store the value in textbox when I the checkbox is checked... until i remove it myself, I basicly tried everything with my LITTLE knowledge. Would really need help so i can move on with my program

In order to do this, go to application properties, then the settings tab. Create a new setting with the name "TextToSave" and make sure it's set to string.

Now, this is how you do it:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed
        My.Settings.Save()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        txtInput.Text = My.Settings.TextToSave
    End Sub

    Private Sub txtInput_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtInput.TextChanged
        If chkSave.Checked = True Then
            My.Settings.TextToSave = txtInput.Text
        End If
    End Sub

End Class
