Re-install or install update

You can install Bookmark Buddy any number of times without affecting your registration, bookmark lists or preferences.

As long as you do not move or erase your Personal License Register then Bookmark Buddy will recognize that it is registered. If Bookmark Buddy doesn't recognize that it is registered, or you know that you have lost your Personal License Register see Registration Problems.

Restore program preferences

If you have a backup of your 'Documents and Settings' folder (usually C:\Documents and Settings\), you can find a backup of your Bookmark Buddy Preferences, BmkBuddy.sav, inside C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Edward Leigh\Bookmark Buddy\3.0 (or ...\3.0U for the Unicode Edition). If you find that file then you can restore your preferences as follows:

If you have already run Bookmark Buddy once, then you must first:

1. Re-launch Bookmark Buddy*

2. Select Uninstall from the Application menu

3. Uncheck all options except 'Remove entries from Windows Registry'

4. Click on Uninstall Now.

*If running Windows Vista you must instead exit Bookmark Buddy and select Uninstall from the Bookmark Buddy program group on the Start menu, or go to uninstall Bookmark Buddy via the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.

Then:

1. Locate the file BmkBuddy.sav from your backup (see above).

2. Copy BmkBuddy.sav into the folder where Bookmark Buddy is currently installed (usually C:\Program Files\Bookmark Buddy\).

3. Launch Bookmark Buddy.

Your original preferences should be restored.
