Basically multiple instances of our application will be launched but they need to have separate user settings. We currently have use “user settings” for that, and it works fine for a single instance (per windows user) but we would like to be able to launch multiple instances with say a settings path passed in via command line. Is there a way to do this with the built-in .NET settings or will we have to roll our own?

I recommend developing a class that will handle app settings and accepts a filename. I’ve had to do this for DLLs that needed app settings, and it also helps if you want to store your settings in a non-local location (e.g. single place on the network).
It will give you a lot more flexibility – It’s definitely worth the investment!
