No, this method just backs up the things that you can change such as Set files and scripts.
When you need to re-install, just use the 7.0 CD and then the latest update, which right now is the beta 1 of Window-Eyes 7.2. The readme says the update will work on anything starting with 7.0 so just do the 7.0 CD, the 7.2 beta 1, and then you can restore any set files and scripts that you need to. Please note that with set files, if you have older set files to restore, then you will need to use the Update set files to current format which is in the Window-eyes control panel File menu Managing sets and scripts.

In other words, if the beta had a problem and one needed to get back to 7.11, (which is the full version I have), would I be able to uninstall the 7.2 beta 1, then plant the default directory in the same place and have window-eyes 7.11 running again, just like before? Alternatively, I have the 7.0 disk, and the 7.1 executable file, and the 7.11 executable file. Could I reinstall window-Eyes 7.11 by installing these programs in order?

Then arrow down to Gw micro and press enter Select window-eyes and press enter Select users and press enter And select default Copy the whole default folder somewhere safe because this is where all of your set files and scripts are stored.

I thought I was doing the right thing and I tried to copy my entire WE folder to a safe place and it didn't work. I still don't know what the correct way is to save my settings and set files. I tried and installed the bata and had the button issue. That was not tollerable so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall my 7.11 starting from the 7.0 disk then the 7.1 upgrade and the 7.11 . When I went to find the WE folder I thought I had put in a safe place it was gone. I hesitate to try reinstalling the bata for this reason. How do I save my settings of WE that work for me?

I would like to use the new beta but I don't want to loose my stuff. How do I make sure that my current files are available to restore to my 7.11 if 7.2 doesn't work for me? I would like to be able to try the beta and if It doesn't work better to revert back to what I know and love, exactly as if I never did anything. Which files do I need to back up so I have it all? Do I coppy the entire WE file from my hard drive? Thanks a bunch for the info. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
