To find more information about each control, such as a check box or a text box in the wizard, select from the control list below, or press the F1 key when a control is selected.

## Choose an action to perform list box

You can select an action to perform from the list.

Export all personal settings into a registry file. | Export all the personal settings including configurations, menus, Toolbars, External Tools and the recently used file list to a Registration file. You can later use this file to import to restore the current settings, or copy the settings to another computer.

Notes

The following INI files will be created when you select one of options to create INI files:

- eeCommon.ini

- eeConfig.ini

- eeLM.ini

When EmEditor starts and finds eeUseIni.ini in its install folder, EmEditor uses these INI files instead of the Registry, and does not save any settings to the Registry.
