Settings.settings is the designer file for Visual Studio to generate the settings class like how .resx files hold resources.
The settings have to be stored somewhere, but they aren’t stored in Settings.settings (the default ones are). They are stored in .config files.
With the generated class, you can update the app.config and not worry about manipulating the XML.
