saving custom toolbars

[SUNDEMON]

hi,
I often save a copy of my support file so that if something happens that requires me to re-install ACAD, I can save my lisps and shortcuts. Does anyone know if you can do something similar with your custom toolbars? When you create a toolbar, where does that information reside in the program files? What about your user preferences?

Search keyword "toolbar". The authors do an excellant job of presenting the material.

For your toolbars, go here:

Also here is another one I have used:

As for user preferences, simply export your profiles to an external file location (outside of the ACAD install). To bring in the profiles, simply use the "import" button.

thanks smcadman, that's pretty much exactly what I was trying to find, and thanks to everyone else for the info sources.
