Unload Command

Use the Unload command from the Users menu to save a definition file of your user preferences.

To unload your user preferences

  1. Select the Unload command from the Users menu. The Extract Users dialog, shown in the following image is then displayed.

  2. Enter the full location and name for your file in the File Name text box or click the Browse button to display a common dialog in which you can select your user preferences definition file location and name.

  3. To use UTF-8 BOM encoding in the user preferences definition file, check the Use UTF-8 file encoding check box. If you do not check this check box, the file is output in native ANSI or Unicode format.

    The User Preferences screen enables you to specify the default setting of this check box. For details, see "Preferences Command", earlier in this chapter.

  4. To save your user preferences to the specified file, click the Unload button. Alternatively, click the Close button to abandon the unloading process.

Your user preferences are then saved to the specified file. For details about retrieving user preferences saved to a definition file by using the Load command, see "Load Command", in the following subsection.
