Wishing for a Better Way to Backup Settings

from Stardock Forums

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 In the first place, if the structure of the Windows registry changes, as it easily can due to updates, that method is outdated.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.

The structure of the Windows registry itself will never change.  Likewise all Start11 keys are stored under the one place in the registry and this has been the same for Start8/10/11.

That said we are aware of interest in alternative ways to backup settings
