In the Bat file just change the setting source folder to "Config Backup" or "Config Backup 2" etc. In the Bat change the appropriate source Skin folder. Change c:\ to the appropriate drive if need be. Will do a how to for Mac users it would just use a script that you can then save as an app with an icon. Here's the skins in a folder extract to x:bb so you will have x:\bb\Skins https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1ka72vd72lfwox/BB_Skins.zip?dl=1 After saving the BB settings you need. BB folder List by newest date: DEFAULT.ALI DefaultColors.BBC intrface.bbw MySetup.DK Copy the above files to "Config Backup" or "Config Backup 2" etc. Add the text below under Code: to a text file, rename it Biab Mode 1.bat Code: rd "C:\bb\Data\Images\MainScreenButtons" /s /q xcopy "C:\bb\Skins\Color on All Dark\MainScreenButtons" "C:\bb\Data\Images\MainScreenButtons\" /o /x /e /h /k del "c:\bb\DEFAULT.ALI" del "c:\bb\DefaultColors.BBC" del "c:\bb\intrface.bbw" del "c:\bb\MySetup.DK" copy "c:\bb\Config Backup\DEFAULT.ALI" "c:\bb\DEFAULT.ALI" copy "c:\bb\Config Backup\DefaultColors.BBC" "c:\bb\DefaultColors.BBC" copy "c:\bb\Config Backup\intrface.bbw" "c:\bb\intrface.bbw" copy "c:\bb\Config Backup\MySetup.DK" "c:\bb\MySetup.DK" start "" "c:\bb\bbw.exe" exit Now just run the bat file to start BB with your saved settings. You can right click Run As Administrator if any problems. You can convert the bat file to an exe file with an icon http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Batch-To-Exe-Converter.shtml Drag the bat file into Bat to EXE > Batch File: Search in the BB folder for PGMICON.ICO BBWICON.ICO << right click save RealBand2017.ico.png rename RealBand2017.ico or add any icon you like, search "icons" google or create your own. In Bat to EXE Options > Miscellaneous > Administrator Manifest Bat to EXE > Compile. You can pin it where you like or create a shortcut. You won't have a 64bit Biab maybe till the end of the year, but at least you can create a 64bit Bat to EXE Code: del "c:\RealBand\RB.CFG" del "c:\RealBand\RealBand.INI" del "c:\RealBand\DEFAULT.RWS" copy "c:\RealBand\Config Backup\DEFAULT.RWS" "c:\RealBand\DEFAULT.RWS" copy "c:\RealBand\Config Backup\RB.CFG" "c:\RealBand\RB.CFG" copy "c:\RealBand\Config Backup\RealBand.INI" "c:\RealBand\RealBand.INI" start "" "c:\RealBand\RealBand.exe" exit Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) BB_Reset_Skin.jpg (158.51 KB, 82 downloads) Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool
