Title: Restore icons in another installation
Post by ed_co on Apr 24^th, 2008, 6:47pm

Hi, I would like to say that is a useful software, congratulations.

But, I have a problem now, I must to format my pc (windows xp 64 to Vista 64), but I would like to save my desktop with my icons configuration.

There are any files that I can save, or registry entry, to save this configuration and use this in the new installation.

Sorry for my english.

Thank you and greetings.

You can use RegEdit.exe to export the registry key and then later re-import it. Of course, this will only work properley if you have the exact same programs installed and the icons remain the same size, etc.

The registry key to export is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JOConnell\DeskTop
