Is there a way to keep all my customized settings when I upgrade to a new version? There are so many ways to configure FC that I forget everything I did between upgrades.
By the way FC is an extremely useful and well thought out program. There is rarely a case when I can't get it to do what I want. Thanks for developing such an excellent program.
Question about upgrading to new version
Your settings are saved in the file "freecommander.ini" and your Shortcuts in the file "freecommander.shc".
Normally they are localized in you freecommander-install-folder.
You should allways have a safe copy of them.
For upgrading you can use the zip.file of the new freecommander version and extract the file to your freecommander-install-folder.
The settings will survive because the zip-file has no settings-files. Freecommander doesn't need an installation.

I don't know if the setup-routine installs a new "freecommander.ini", but if it does so you have your safe copy of the settings-files to put them back.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I used the zip file as you suggested, and that took care of my problem.
I appreciate the quick help.
Thanks again,
