Answer 1

Having your program modify itself is a bad idea. As a couple people already pointed out, this will fail badly under Vista and Win7 in most cases. It's better not to fight the operating system. Windows already provides a couple different ways for your program to store its settings. You can drop an INI or other config file in some folder outside of Program Files, or you can store it in the Registry, which is probably the best option.
