Hi all Thank you for the feedback.
I was not thinking of Profile corruption (although the solution for some issues is resetting the profile which means that some part of it was corrupted?) It was more a tool to Backup a working profile and hopefully being able to import it in another machine. Having separate check boxes to import/export different parts of the profile was my main idea (it could also be used as debugging tool to pinpoint the problem when a corruption actually occurs) Resetting a profile (as suggested repeatedly) solves some problems but wastes a lot of time and effort that the user already had accumulated in his profile. As an example, it would be really useful to backup the personal dictionary on one computer and being able to import (merge?) in another. I am aware that you can dig in to the profile structure and copy a file. But a common user would not do that. Can this be done with an extension? Thanks!
