Backing-Up Start8 Settings?

from Stardock Forums

I'm wondering if there's a a way to back-up the Start8 configuration once a User has everything they way they want it?  It appears that at least some of the settings are saved under the Windows Registry Key:

Code: RegistryKey
  1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock

Though it doesn't appear everything is there...  It would be slick to have a simple 'export settings' feature similar to Classic Start which saves to XML, but in  Start8's case, perhaps a proprietary *.dat format that optionally stores product license registration data, as well multiple User's configurations, and an install switch/option that allows pointing the installer to the file would be nice features for Enterprise...

Sans store settings features or in the interim -- it would just be nice to know how to save a configuration.

The Start8 settings that you can change from within the Start8 config UI are all stored here : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8

The only other settings would be any pinned shortcuts and they are stored on the HD in the same location as in Windows 7 and the activation settings which are per machine and so not something thats of any use on other machines.
