what to back up before reinstalling

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Always a good idea to deactivate & reactivate. Yes, custom workspaces can be restored via your backup.

Subject: what to back up before reinstalling

Sigh. I have to reinstall Framemaker 12 on my Win7 system. Before I 
do so, I am creating a list of all of the files that I need to back 
up so that I can restore all of my customization after I reinstall. 
Here is my list so far (not including all of the add-ins and scripts 
that are unique to my installation).

Back up the following from 
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Framemaker\12
	Folder WorkSpaces (specifically the .cfsw and .fws files)
	Folder Linguistics
	File consfile.txt
	File maker.ini
	File pdfsize.ini

Back up the following from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12
	Folder Templates
	Folder fminit
	Folder plugins
	maker.ini

Any others? I will post the final list somewhere that will serve as a 
resource to the rest of us; I've had no luck searching for such a 
list on Adobe or by Googling.

Two additional questions: Does anyone know if backing up the 
WorkSpaces folder REALLY allows you to retrieve your custom 
workspaces after reinstall? I vaguely remember having a problem with 
this when I upgraded to FM12. And do I need to deactivate my current 
installation before reinstalling it on the same computer?
