If I install a new XYplorer, how do I backup the existing toolbar buttons, column layout and the likes?
Thank you.

To selectively restore your stuff - check the contents of that backup: ks.dat = key shortcuts, fvs.dat = folder view settings etc. Some features have their own subfolders (Columns = column layouts)
But I don't now how to load it back in - it seems tied into the ini-files - which means you also restore the status of whatever else you might have messed up - in case you're trying to rebuild your XY (coincidentally I am doing this right now)
Maybe someone else can help us out?

That's the tricky one. Backup is easy, see above.aimy wrote:how do I backup the existing toolbar buttons

But I thought, the restoration is simply overwrite the Data folder with the one that we have backed up, isn't it?
Thank you.

Yes, of course.
Sorry if I caused confusion - guess I was making assumptions based on my own situation. I thought the reason for your fresh install were the same as mine - backtracking step by step at what point something goes wrong.
