User settings stored in which files?

Post by losmaxos »

Hi everyone!

My question: in which file(s) does TexnicCenter store the user settings?
(The stuff selected under Tools/Options,Customize)

Context: I'm trying to avoid making all the settings again
after reinstalling Windows and TexnicCenter.

Thanks in advance for any help!

All the settings are stored in the registry. TeXnicCenter 2.0, for instance, uses the HKCU\Software\ToolsCenter\TeXniCenterNT registry key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
