Hi,


Thats a manual task currently, really must get round to add the restore option.

Not sure what OS but assuming Vista or Win7 pull up the directory C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal

In here you will see the

usermenuprofile.xml

and the backupfiles in this format.

usermenuprofile.xml.backup.634280932416212636

Using the above file as an example first delete the current usermenprofile.xml and rename the usermenuprofile.xml.backup.634280932416212636 to usermenuprrofile.xml.

Restart the editor and generate a new basichome.

thx

T Thanks for the reply. It looks like the Program Files (x86) requires backing up too. I did read the wiki (Backup and Restore) I will give it a try.

@Brownard another logs of failed installations. I'll take a look into the user management. Edit: I can confirm user management is completey broken with NET4 and NET6 :( Neither an existing profile can be selected nor a new one can be created.
