Use XML to store the data: XmlSerializer Class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlserializer.aspx

I want to assign multiple hot keys at run time as many as one wants and want these keys to be saved in a list box for registering again whenever the application starts, and user should be able to just press any of its desired key combinations and the respective work should be done accordingly.
