Backing up Important SW files

Which Files to back up before upgrading or Removing SW from your Local Hard drive.

1) Copy options Wizard - Saves System Options - Start\Programs\Solidworks\Solidworks Tools\ - This saves Keyboard shortcuts, Toolbars, Menu Customization, System Options, Macros
2) Save your Default Templates - Parts, Assemblies, Drawings - They have your Document Properties saved in there
3) Save any Feature Palette items that you might have made custom - C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\data
4) If you have Toolbox installed and you have customized it (or added any bolts, Etc... to your Assembly) you need to backup the Toolbox parts - Go to the location of your Toolbox\Browser\ and copy all the parts to a safe location.
5 ) If you customized a BOM - C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\English
6 ) Any Sheet Formats - C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\data

In general if you have customized any files inside of SW or added any files that you use on a daily basis or not, you should back them up. These are just some of the Basic Saves you should be aware of.
