A:
You could use Isolated Storage, but the most reasonable is Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) since it saves it on the machine in the user profile for whatever account the service is run from.

Did you check where LocalApplicationData points to for a Service?

Ahh, Local System has no user profile and then most of the special folders goes bananas :-(Then this only works if you start your service from an account with a user profile.
