Simple programming question from a non-programmer

BMAN1448 · 03-12-2005, 12:49 PM

Hi,
Could someone please tell me if there's an easy way to copy a software program to a seperate folder on the same PC and have the copied version revert back to the default settings (all buttons,toolbars,windows,etc in the original locations) while leaving the original copy intact? I have a good idea for an educational software program if I could figure out an easy way to do this that works well with a wide variety of software and operating systems. To all who are kind enough to reply keep in mind I no nothing about programming. Thanks

you would need to play around in regedit, so install a fresh copy, copy it to another folder, then copy the registry keys, an change one, then 1 will work as default and 1 will workas none default, thats how me got 2 versions of msn messenger to both work at the same time on the same computer
