Expose my.settings outside of project / namespace

Does anyone know of an efficient way to expose the my.settings outside of the current project?

I ask because ideally, I would like to create project called Environment, that would hold and manage all my user preferences. Since VB.NET has such a nice method for saving settings (my.settings) I would prefer to save it there. But, my other components in different projects (all under the common solution) would need access to those settings. I know that I can create properties in my projects to explicitly pass the values, but that seems sloppy since my number of settings may grow in the future.

I guess I am asking if there is a way to do something like:

<namespace>.my.settings.zzzzz
