Hello
I'm Aaron and my english is not the best. Well, first I want to save all my settings then I want to archive with WinRar (I think this is best way) then when I run self-extracting archive on other PC's (about 4-6) everything tool,addons,plugins,skins and settings are configured. Is there are better way then a self-extracting archive? Thanks.

Re: Saving all my settings for another PC
Besides what CyberTheWorm wrote, you have to know that usually the addons are in the @Resources folder of the appropriate skin.
The third party plugins are in the c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Plugins folder, if you have installed such plugins, you also should save this folder, too.

And about the layout, they actually are in the c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts folder.CyberTheWorm wrote:Settings/layouts are inCode: Select all

Then to save the skins, you have to copy that folder.Aaron wrote:Thanks for your replys. I have also changed Rainmeter.ini it works.Code: Select all

But I think instead of the indicated path, it should be SkinPath=%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\ (without the C:\ part). Isn't it?
