Odie I had my wife DL your latest compilation and now I'm ready to uninstall the previous build. (Yes, her name is Lilah, she's also a gamer and I'm Ethan. I have a best friend named Lucas.) However, I want to clean my registry clean of UFO: AI traces AND save my games.
So what I'm going to do is make a copy of these files:

paste it somewhere safe like MyDOcs > My Porn (kidding.
), uninstall the games, install your newest compilation.
Copy-pasting the above folders to that same directory should reinstate my games right? And if I decide to install again 2.2.1, I could simply c-paste the 2.2.1 folder in the same directory and continue where I left off right?
Thanks for any helpful reply. ![Grin ;D](http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Those 2 directories are the correct ones to backup.

Just save em somewhere if u intend to remove all settings during the uninstallation procedure.
The regedit is usually not necessarily, cos i seen the uninstaller doing a good job. But if u wish, all instances of "ufo" will be good enuf.

Unless u have some other ufo-like games.

Actually, when u uninstall 2.3, and keep your 2.2.1 or other earlier versions, the save games will only be removed for that particular version. But regarding the reinstatement procedures u gave, it is definately the case. Copying your particular versions' savegames will bring back and reinstate your old savegames alrite.

A note on this, if its 2.3 - dev u are talking about, some earlier versions' (revisions) savegames do break. So take note of that.
Toodles!
Have fun both u and wife.
