> Do yourselves a favor - backup your settings. Go to the C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c\_program\_files\_(x86)\_eve\_LOGINNAME\_sharedcache\_tq\_tranquility\settings\_LOGINNAME folder - there you’ll see a file (or a bunch of files if you have more than one character) named something like core\_char\_XXXXX.dat. Those are your “layout” setting files. Make a backup of them every so often (along with exporting your overview settings). If the client resets all your ■■■■, just copy your core\_char\_XXXXX.d…

I would add to the above that you can just backup your entire “settings\_XYZ” folder into a zip or 7z or other compressed archive and should your settings reset, you can just copy that folder back into the `C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_eve_LOGINNAME_sharedcache_tq_tranquility` (or whatever your folder is called) folder to restore your settings. Just remember to do this regularly.
