1. INI files and the registry are platform dependent.  Without using
native code don't try it.
Think Serialization.

2. The snip below pops a dialog box centered on the screen.

  void Info_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
  {
    Container f = getParent();
    while(f != null && !(f instanceof Frame))
    {
      f = f.getParent();
    }

    if (f == null)
      return;

    AboutBox about = new AboutBox((Applet)this, (Frame)f, "About..",
false);

//Center the window

    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Dimension frameSize = about.getSize();
    if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
      frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
    if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
      frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
    about.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2,
(screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
    about.setVisible(true);

    return;
