VB Saving text boxes / Labels

Question

I've been trying multiple methods for trying to save information on the application.

Explanation:
The program I'm currently making is a custom game launcher with a profile manager. And on the profile manager is fields for username, and gamertag. I wan't to save the information a user inputs so that if they restart the program it will save their information instead of the information I added as default while making it.

I've seen methods on how to save textboxes to text files, but how would that work for custom textbox fields that link up to labels?

Example:

VB

label1.text = textbox1.text

The information from the textbox is then active on the label. How would I save this information so when I relaunch the application it's still there?

To CodexHawk. If I wanted to talk to you, I would comment your solution. I guess one of the fake answers I meant was removed automatically due to down-votes.
