Absolute StartUp provides backup function to store current
configuration and restore it easily.
Absolute StartUp provides suitable
backup interface into understandable format - you can restore items on any
system manually with one command. All data are backuped - original windows
startup configuration and extant Absolute StartUp configuration.
You can select File\Clear programs to clear all startup items. To clear
selected section in the tree, use tree popupmenu and select clear section.
Clear section function is available only for original startup sections.
After
you select "File\Backup program" in the main menu or button in toolbar
you will be provided with folder dialog.  You have to select
folder to save current configuration of current user (About access to startup
configuration of other users read
here).
There are some points, which will be created in this directory:
- User (folder) - all shortcuts from current user startup folder will
be copied here.
- AllUsers (folder) - all shortcuts from commmon startup folder will
be copied here.
- RestoreReg.reg - file to restore all regitry entiries (both
original startup configuration and Absolute StartUp extant
configuraion).
RestoreReg.reg file in REGEDIT 4 format is compatible with
all Windows.
- RestoreLinks.bat - command file to delete current configuration and
restore backuped one.
For Windows NT and higher you can rename it into
*.cmd file
To restore configuration
you can select necessary configuration from "File\Restore programs\" list
or select defined folder with folder select dialog - "File\Restore
programs\Select backup folder". All current items will be deleted and
information from backup will be applied. List will be refreshed
automatically.
It is possible to control maximal number of backup folders
in the list with options - more in General
options page
With this option it is possible to backup configuration of
other
users in system too.
To restore items manually is necessary to
start RestoreLinks.bat file - just select it in Explorer and start
it.
All startup items will be deleted, backuped shortcuts will be copied into
correspondent folders, registry file will be applied.
You can export all or selected startup items into HTML file with function
File\Publish startup list main menu.
Aslo with this function you can print all services and system libraries,
but you cannot backup them - these settings are backuped in system backup.
Note: It is recommended to create backup at first start
time.
Note: Restoring operation is applied for current user only.
