How do I save and restore all the vb6 ide settings?

I've seen this tip on DevX which should 'account for most of the Visual Basic IDE settings'.

Does anyone whether this is sufficient or whether there are more settings out there?

They are stored in these two registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\Microsoft Visual Basic HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0

Access them by running Regedit.

It looks pretty complete, however if you have custom Add-Ins this will not get them. I did a quick search of my Add-Ins and I don't see any generic way of backing them up as they have their own registry keys. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0 has an Addins sub-folder so if you have custom add-ins you should at least get a message that they can't be found. Otherwise, use Process Monitor and take note of the registry keys and files that are read when you start Visual Basic.
