VFP settings

[OldManOBIE]

Does anybody know where VFP stores settings for the options? I made changes to colors and other settings on the "Editor" and "IDE" tabs and would like to get them back after a new installation. Also, where are custom colors for the color pallet saved? I think that is more a windows thing than a foxpro thing.

I forgot to include the question about where custom IntelliSense Manager items are saved.

Most of the desktop settings you mentioned are stored in the registry, in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\xx.0\Options

where xx.0 is the VFP version.

Other settings are stored in the resource files (FOXUSER.*). These are mainly things like the size and positions of various windows and toolbars, and similar settings.

The Intellisense settings are stored in the Foxcode.DBF file, the path to which is stored in _FOXCODE.
