| 2. | Configure the preferences (list files, browsers, behavior and presentation) as you want. |
| 4. | Locate the preferences backup file, BmkBuddy.sav, which will usually be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Edward Leigh\Bookmark Buddy\3.0 (or ...\3.0U for the Unicode Edition). |
