Hi Salabim,

You can backup your settings into a .reg file via the "Export all personal settings into a file" command, wich is the first choice listed in the "Import and Export Wizard".

Re: Going back from .ini files to registry.
Thanks a lot for the help Toad,

I tried that, but I had to do all configuration changes (including snippets, macro's, and personal settings) from scratch.

Now, I really would like to know if it is possible to backup the COMPLETE configuration in some way to extract the necessary registry information into a file, so that I can easily put my configuration back completely in cause of when I need to do a system restore for whatever reason. (I'm regularly screwing my system badly when I'm fiddling with media conversion tools which I'm beta testing, StaxRip, MeGUI, and others...)

So, If anyone knows the registry entries which all have to be exported so I'm sure I backuped ALL settings into 1 or more .reg files, please let me know.

Thanks a lot. :)

Hi Salabim,

I guess your EmEditor will run at portable mode while your ini setting files are still in there, so you can't find the choices in my screenshot.

How about move them to a seperate folder, then try again? I think the ini setting files are:

Hello ToadLoadin,

Unfortunately, when I choose Tools/Import and Export... I only get 1 option :

Set up a removable drive such as a USB drive with default settings.
No other options appear

I tried deleting the eeUseIni.ini file, but then I lost all my configuration and macro- and snippets changes I made inbetween them.

Please, How can I make it use the registry again, with current configuration ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Salabim,

You can choose "Import personal INI files to the Registry", from the "Import and Export Wizard", which sits under the "Tools" menu.
