Exporting Selected Environment Settings

We’ll start off with export, which you might use to share your settings with another developer. This could also be useful if you planned to make significant changes to your settings and wanted a backup in case you wanted to revert to previous settings. To perform the export, choose the “Export selected environment settings” option from Figure 1-17 and click Next to display the Choose Settings To Export window in Figure 1-18.

There is a tree of options you can choose from to determine what settings to export. The warning sign indicates settings that you might not want to export for personal or security reasons. The warning settings typically have something to do with system file paths or something outside of VS that you wouldn’t normally share with other people. After you’ve selected options, click Next to display the Name Your Settings File window in Figure 1-19.
