Please Help With Get / Save Settings in VB 6 -

Hello, I have created a skinnable game and my question is:

how can I use the save / get settings funtion to where the skin I load will be the default skin loaded on startup?

I need either an example of the save / get settings function for the skinning or a .ini function... The Save Settings / Get Settings need to also work on windows vista... I am using Visual Basic 6.0 and the SkinCrafter 2.8.1 Skin Control... Please help me with this little task.

I would like for example when my game starts on the end user's computer the default skin be loaded, then after they choose to load a different skin from file then that skin will be set as the default skin and when ever they reopen the game (Clicking on the exe) the last skin choosen will be applied on startup...

if you can help please reply to my post or send me an email... thank you...
