Hi John,

When you initiate: "Options > Return to Factory Settings", the program automatically creates a back up file of your current preferences. Of course if you are using the option you are assuming the preferences are corrupt and who wants to reload assumed corrupt preferences.

But "Options" also contains two menu items you may not have used before: "Save Preferences As ..." and "Open Preferences". These two options allow you to save a known good preference file under your custom file label and to load the file anytime you want or need to.

For reference, the preference files are saved at: /bb > data > Util > Templates.

Every time I purchase the annual Band-in-a-Box update I perform a "Return to Factory Settings" command and then create a new preference file. That way, if I have an issue I can use the command and load my known good, personal preference file. Initiating both commands takes less than 1 1/2 minutes on a very slow computer.
