    Save File Explorer settings for re-application


    Save File Explorer settings for re-application-view.jpg

    I've made some alterations to File Explorer's settings, such as Details view with file extensions column and saved the view for folders of the same type. These changes did not survive an update so I had to redo them. Is there a way to save and restore such modifications?

    Well, I did search before I posted -- but neglected to include the word "backup".

    Brink's script performs well. Thanks for the help.
