configuration-management

I want to save the configuration of my project.
Which includes

Screen size

Screen Position

Folder paths

Users settings and so on.

The standard places where you can save these are configuration values are:

Registry

INI files

Personal files (like *.cfg)

I would like to know how do you choose between these places?
Also are there any pros & cons of using any of them?
