Yeah, i guess I should have stipulated that the three stars was for answering *correctly* for one of my favorite (okay, my top favorite) people. Otherwise, I throw out answers just to mess with people. Toughens 'em up. Encourage autodidactism (autodidactination? autodidiction ?)

>>>Export settings? Import settings? Why do you need to do that? Your initials should remain in the token list under Tools, Options without you needing to do anything further. Are you able to change other settings and have them persist between one VS session and the next?
