I had to restore Toad for Oracle v9.7.2.5 on Vista x64 because of a corrupted task image, which btw, happens like every couple of months when I am trying to export data dumps into a tab delimited format. Anyways, I have made a copy of my users folder as a backup and when I restarted Toad it created a new 1. I copied over the 2 files - CONNECTIONS.ini - CONNECTIONSPWDS.ini and it restored my connections and passwords. But, I had a lot of settings for things like sort order on tables in the schema browser. Which file contains those settings so I can copy it over to my new Toad User folder? Thanks, Dave Hatz ---

Those are in directories named after the database. Open that directory, and you’ll see directories named after the schemas. Grab ALL of that. ---

It’s usually the other way around. I’ll pretend not to notice. ---

FYI - Version 10.6 has import/export buttons on the connection window and SQL Recall window for backup/recovery of these 2 features (these are the 2 most requested recovery items) ---
