: : : Mark,

: : : Is there a file where the Investment Goals and Asset Type labels are stored. I had to reinstall FM but have a backup of my directory from before the reinstall. I've restored my fund data files, but my goals and asset types are not correct.

: : : Can you provide guidance?

: : It looks like these may be stored in the registry. Since my computer blew, does that mean I have no way to recover my categories? Why wouldn't FM store this data in files in its own directory?

: Hi Bob,

: Yes, these are stored in the registry. All of the global preferences for Fund Manager are stored in the registry here:

: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager

: and specifically the asset labels are stored here:

: Asset Type Labels

: and the goal labels here:

: Investment Goal Labels

: Fund Manager stores global preferences for the program in the registry, as this is the intended place for programs to store such information. I can see the argument that these should also be stored in portfolio files, but they aren't currently.

: Thanks,
: Mark

So, does the documentation discuss a way to backup and then restore "user options" like this? I have now (mostly) restored onto new pc and would like to back up options so recreation next time is less cumbersome.

Thank you.
