How to keep the Newsbin settings?

Hi

I am about to reinstall Windows. What files must I keep so all my groups and headers stay as they are? Thanks.

Just done this yesterday.

Start NBPro and just to be on the safe side click on File/ save Configuration. Also click on File/save configuration as and save a backup to somewhere safe. Then shut NBPro down.

Next step - Windows/User/App.Data/ and copy the Newsbin folder to somewhere( this could be a very large folder depending on the size of the SpoolVI folder.

After you reinstall Windows and have reinstalled NBPro delete the Newsbin folder in App.Data just copy the saved folder back to App.Data and then start NBPro using the backup nbi file. After NBPro starts I done the File/Save Configuration again.

I had one little hiccup in that Windows swapped the drive letters of my storage hard drives so I had to go into Computer/ Manage Discs to swap them back again.
