    Hi

    I have done a full clean install on my vaio SZ. Prior to this I had backup most of the data.
    Now I'd like to restore some of my original settings, one being all the web site registration stored in Protector Suite.
    I haven't found where those are stored ...
    Are they in the registry or in the Document and Settings Folder, if yes: where ?

    Would appreciate if anyone who know this helped me.

    Thanks
    JY

    Hm, interesting question. Looks like the only thing in the Protector Suite folder in Documents and Settings is a data file for "My Safe". My bet would be on the registry.

    I was able to backup the data by swiping my finger on the desktop and the protector Suite shows up with a list of options. I clicked settings and got to Registrations tab. There's an Export/Import option there.

    I guess it's too late for you to do that?

    Yes it is :(

    I saved some registration, and search the registry: I couldn't find anything there either !
