I use - and deeply appreciate - Start11. I wish there was a better way to backup Start11 settings than the method described in How do I backup Start Settings? which relies on exporting and merging a registry key. In the first place, if the structure of the Windows registry changes, as it easily can due to updates, that method is outdated. Beyond that, the method has a limitation, as described in that post.
I realize that no one is getting wealthy from Start11, but a better way to export and import settings would make the app so much more useful.
