It's been a long time since I've had to do this. How do you save your settings so that when you have to reinstall Windows/AutoCAD (or the whole drive, like me) you don't have to try and remember them all?

RE: Saving Settings

The settings  are saved on a *.arg file.

Look up for it and keep in a safe place.
Also save the *.mn* files

I copied any".mn" files but there are no ."arg." I falled to mention this is LT, if that makes a difference.

Yeah, I get that a lot. Thanks for the help,

RE: Saving Settings

Menu files (aclt.mnu, aclt.mnc, aclt.mns, and aclt.mnr)
You might search on these separately to see where they
are loaded.  Have you used the help function within
acadlt to help with your question?

RE: Saving Settings

(OP)
Thanks Guys. The Help function needs help, and I've got all the ".mn_"'s copied over. It's not a huge problem as I don't plan on blowing up my drive again in the near future (who does?); it's just a pain trying to remember all the little convenient things that get developed over the years.

 I'll try the extender and see what happens.
