  You can save your layout from Window>Workspace>Customise. You can also back up the C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Daz 3d\Studio 4 folder, and the C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Daz 3d\cms folder for the content database.

  you can also save the specific registry settings which is useful, but if you're not familiar with it - potentially risky.

  Thanks - restored the appdata folder form a backup and that got most of it.. Will look at what is stored in the registry...

  Rob now has some sample scripts that will help with backing up and restoring:

  backup just the layout files

  restore layout files

  There are also a couple for backing up/restoring folders as a whole
