Preferences file/directory

Where are TextPad's preferences saved?

I am in the process of writing a backup script and would like to backup the file (or directory) where the Preference Settings are stored.

I looked in c:\windows and \textpad_program directories but could not find any files that would seem likely candidates.

Is there a .dat or .ini file somewhere that stores the preferences?

I don't want to have to backup all of textpad's files with every backup. Would just like to backup data (obviously) and recently updated program preferences.

TIA

Textpad stores most preferences where preferences should be stored: the registry.
Exceptions: custom.bnd, Macro files, Syntax files.

Have a look at "Help - Help Topics - How To - Customize Settings - Transferring between PCs"
