[2005] My.Settings... -

I'm trying to save a string to the settings of my project... however when i restart my computer it's not saved... works fine while running but stop the program and it's gone...

Code:
 Dim smtp As String
        smtp = InputBox("Please enter your SMTP address, this will be something like smtp.xtra.co.nz or smtp.slingshot.co.nz", "SMTP")
        If smtp = "" Then
            MessageBox.Show("You didn't type anything", "No STMP input", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
            Exit Sub
        Else
            My.Settings.smtp = smtp
            Label17.Text = smtp
        End If
How can I save it for ever?
