I use RxLib's TSorage which is very simple to use.
Bring up the dialog by double clicking on the icon and then
select the component on the form from the list. Relevant
properties are displayed and you just select the ones to
store. Very nice and free. I guess it's part of JVCL now
so still supported (?)
