The problem is that you shouldn't be using TStrings.  It has no ability to 
store strings by itself.  Use TStringList instead.  Or use TIniFile as 
follows:
   IniFile := TIniFile.Create('some.ini');
   try
       Value := IniFile.ReadString('Section', 'Key', 'DefaultValue');
   finally
       IniFile.Free;
   end;
