Isolated storage is a data storage mechanism for Windows applications that provides isolation and safety by defining standardized ways of associating code with saved data

Isolated storage is a data storage mechanism that provides isolation and safety by defining standardized ways of associating code with saved data.

Standardization provides other benefits as well. Administrators can use tools designed to manipulate isolated storage to configure file storage space, set security policies, and delete unused data. With isolated storage, your code no longer needs unique paths to specify safe locations in the file system, and data is protected from other applications that only have isolated storage access. Hard-coded information that indicates where an application's storage area is located is unnecessary.
