how do you keep it in the same spot as last time, like you shut it down, and it doesnt save the position, can you help me make it save its position?

@MinecraftiaVids I'm sure that's easy enough. Try inputting 2 integer values in settings...

Let's say 1 setting is named location1 and another location2 then use this code on form closing:

My.Settings.location1 = Panel1.Location.X

My.Settings.location2 = Panel1.Location.Y

Then use this code on form load:

Dim PanelLoad As New Point (My.Settings.location1, My.Settings.location2)

Panel1.Location = PanelLoad

Just remember to set both the values to 0 for the first run. :D

@topvirus2k9 Haha. I was actually going to use this code in my next version of the Lightning OS. So it was harder to remember (notice notepad on the top and me pasting the codes).

@OddMan360 Is there a way to prevent me from moving the panel outside the Window? Because If I do that and MouseUp again I can't get it back ^^
