jkandra Posted April 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 24, 2006 What I am asking Is. What files and where do I find them so I can copy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted April 24, 2006 CID Share Posted April 24, 2006 no idea honestly....my guess is that all personalized files would be in C:/Program files/Program name/ some folder that stores information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted April 24, 2006 CID Share Posted April 24, 2006 you could also save the whole folder of that program, and once you install it again, just copy the old files over the new ones - at least the ones you think are essential for customization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
