The .lyx directory is a (hidden) directory placed in your home directory, which contains the data of your configuration of LyX (chosen viewers, fonts, keyboard bindings, etc.). When you install LyX, LyX will create .lyx if it does not exist, but using your previous .lyx directory will save you the time of configuring LyX again. Paul
