Keith,
Those settings are stored in different places depending on a couple of things most specifically what you have set in your customization options. Typically they are stored under the normal.mxt for ArcMap and normal.gxt for ArcCatalog.

Subject: shrug-l: ArcGIS Desktop Envrionmental Settings

Hey all,

I'm guessing, or at least hoping, someone has done this before.

What file(s) in:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings

Contain the environmental settings for ArcCatalog and ArcMap, i.e. folder connections, pane docking, i.e.?

Recently my workstation almost went down for the dirt nap and having to restore everything after a clean install is a pain...luckily I scraped by this time.

I'd like to be able to make periodic copies of the environmental settings so I can drop them in a new install to save myself the trouble of having to reset everything.

Is this even possible?

Thanks
