It also worked pretty well on my Windows 7 box at work. This can also be applied to WordPad: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\WordpadĪnd to some extent to Explorer (saving the Ribbon and QuickAccess Toolbar): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Ribbon Since one may want to NOT save/restore recent files' list, some file handling may be required. Restoring settings from file is: C:\> REG IMPORT C:\My\Dir\MyMSPaintSettingsFile.reg In most versions, you will find a default set of brushes in the Brush Palette. Saving current settings is: C:\> REG EXPORT HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint C:\My\Dir\MyMSPaintSettingsFile.reg Sketchbook Pro - Cross Hatching Brush Set by AutodidactArtAcademy on.


and I had to find a way to save settings on a not yet migrated box and restore them on updated one.īasically, the solution for MSPaint in Windows 10 is based on REG.exe command. Coming back to this question in december 2017, since Windows 10 Creators Update reset all settings in MS tools: MSPaint, WordPad, Explorer of course.
