Managing Settings - Manually      

(*To manage settings through Ol_Monitor see the Manual)

Using ini file:

*** If you are using the ini file option your settings are not stored in the registry. You can simply find and copy the "OlMon.ini" file from the application folder to your backup folder.
To open up a window to the application folder in Windows click start - run, and in the box paste the following:

explorer /e, c:\program files\OLMonitor VIM

Using registry:

*** TIP command line backup of settings: When upgrading you should not lose any settings but if you want to be absolutely sure try this:
In windows Click start - run in the box paste the following:

 regedit /E C:\TEMP\OLCU.REG "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BasicScript Program Settings"

repeat and paste:
 regedit /E C:\TEMP\OLLM.REG "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BasicScript Program Settings"

assuming you have a folder named 'temp' on your c drive your settings should now be backed up there.

Note: All your settings are stored on the local computer in the registry.  The section of the registry where settings are stored is the CURRENT_USER section, therefore if you log on as a different user the settings will disappear to the macro. This is what the program is talking about when it always asks if you want to store settings for all users as well.  If you did store settings for all users, you will also find your settings under the LOCAL_MACHINE section. Export this section if you are porting settings from one pc to another and want all the settings to be available to any user of that pc. You can import and export your settings easily using the Windows Regedit program.
Start Regedit:   To start registry editor in Windows click "Start -  Run..."  type "regedit" (without quotes) in the box
Find the key: Drill down to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - BasicScript Program Settings - OlMonitor. After you have selected OlMonitor, from the File menu select "Export": Type a descriptive name and save your .reg file. Repeat this process for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section of the registry as well if you want to save the shared settings.  USE A DIFFERENT NAME FOR THE .REG FILE OR YOU WILL OVERWRITE THE SETTINGS IN THE CURRENT_USER FILE.
Importing settings: .reg files can be imported just by double-clicking them.  You will be asked to confirm importations. Restart the macro for settings to take effect. That's it!
