where to save user settings in an app

i've got an app that needs to connect to sql server and login with a
useName/password. currently, my app saves this info in an XML file in plain
text (i.e. no encryption). everytime the app is opened, the XML file is read
and the userName/password used to establish the sql connection. is this the
normal way of doing things, or is it smarter to save these set tings
elsewhere, like the registry? if saving to XML is deemed appropriate, should
i be concerned with the plain text userName/password. i'm primarily a web
developer trying to move to desktop app development, so worrying about
saving info on the desktop is a new area for me and i'd appreciate any info
on how this is generally done.
tks in advance.
