Personal settings after breakdown

Post by Dlira »

Thank you for a very good program!
My computer breaks down now and then, and I may have to reinstall xplorer2. Is there somewhere I can find my personal settings, so I don't have to install them manually every time?

If you are familiar with the registry, you can export your settings to a .reg file and re-invoke them by d-clicking on that file to restore them.

to export your settings, run regedit, navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia plc

r-click, select export | selected branch
and save it to your preferred location using a name you will recognize when you want to reinvoke the current settings. Keep the .reg extension so it will install the key seetings automatically when you d-click on the .reg file.

Within x2, you should 'save current settings' (or exit) before you open regedit to export the registry branch.
When you want to re-invoke those settings, x2 must be closed so it can read the settings when it is opened.

Thank you, this was very helpful!
Kind regards, Dlira

You are most welcome. :)

PS - No need to send thanks via PM - It sets a good-manners example for the board to do it publicly. ;)
