Settings

If you are running System Informer from a USB drive, you may want to save System Informer’s settings there as well. To do this, create a blank file named “SystemInformer.exe.settings.xml” in the same directory as SystemInformer.exe. You can do this using Windows Explorer:

  • Make sure “Hide extensions for known file types” is unticked in Tools > Folder options > View.
  • Right-click in the folder and choose New > Text Document.
  • Rename the file to SystemInformer.exe.settings.xml (delete the “.txt” extension).
