Hot Tip! - Auto-backup XnView Registry settings to REG file

[ckit]

You'll need to have set XnView to use the Registry or this won't work.

Create a CMD file (Win2k,XP and 2003) or BAT file (Win9x,Me) and paste the following into it, save it and run it:

@echo off
regedit /e "xnview_settings.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView"
exit

You can change the filename "xnview settings.reg" to whatever you want.
To restore the settings just double-click on the REG file!

Here's my entire "mybackups.cmd" file with Data Files being stored and REG files created:

@echo off
if exist "My Data Files.rar" attrib -r "My Data Files.rar"
"C:\Program Files\Winrar\rar.exe" a -u -as -m0 -r -rr10p -av "My Data Files.rar" @mybackups.lst
if exist "My Data Files.rar" attrib +r "My Data Files.rar"
"C:\Program Files\Winrar\rar.exe" t "My Data Files.rar"
pause

cd "\Backups\Registry Settings"
regedit /e "Getright52a.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Headlight"
regedit /e "WinRAR341.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR"
regedit /e "XnView174.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView"
regedit /e "xplorer2_1100.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc"
regedit /e "ZoomPlayer403.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VirtuaMedia\ZoomPlayer"

cd \Backups
contig -v -s -q *.*
exit
