For example:
If you save a file and then close the program then edit it with Notepad++ or another text editor then reload the program and i want to be able to detect it was modified from what it was when the program was closed
Also the file type is a .ini

You could either compare part of the file data, or you could compare the last date it was modified.

Well how would i save it as a backup inside the program?
or a better method of saving the data would be suffice.

If it has to be within the program, you could append the data to a list of byte arrays.

I'd like it to be either encrypted .ini file or hidden within the program.

You could also use the FileSystemWatcher to detect changes. To storee the data you could use a byte array as mandai said.

Would it be easier to use a hidden folder and read the data from the hidden folder?

Well you would still need to store the data when you read it...
