If I run our application with the library and would like to catch all exceptions not only those unhandled; then the Restore method will always throw an exception (if there id no file). With this change it will check if it exists and then return the default if it didnt exist. There is no need to try to read the stream from the file because it will not be there.
I would like to be able to set the base folder path to our application's local app data folder. Otherwise the files will not be removed when our application is removed. Since the method is public but the class is only internal, I made the class public. I know that we discussed that the default implementation could use the product name, etc. But this doesnt help because my code is loaded by a third party application, so that means that the files will be named like the application and not base on our codebase.
