I am new to ppc development so bare with me.

How does one store user data to some kind of permenant store?

a) file based - xml, csv etc. How does one secure it? prevent manual
editing?
b) i've tried experementing with sql ce, when I installed the app to
the device I noticed Query Analyzer was installed, any way to prevent
this?

don't install the developer .cab file - visual studio automatically
deploys it but it doesn't seem to be needed for real world deployment.
Hwever you can always stck a password on you database that will stop
soemone from casually opening up your database
