I've seen this tip on DevX which should 'account for most of the Visual Basic IDE settings'.

Does anyone whether this is sufficient or whether there are more settings out there?

  • Note that you seem to need to register with DevX to see the tip. Here are the registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\Microsoft Visual Basic HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0 – quamrana Jul 23 '10 at 13:50

It looks pretty complete, however if you have custom Add-Ins this will not get them. I did a quick search of my Add-Ins and I don't see any generic way of backing them up as they have their own registry keys. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0 has an Addins sub-folder so if you have custom add-ins you should at least get a message that they can't be found. Otherwise, use Process Monitor and take note of the registry keys and files that are read when you start Visual Basic.

  • +1. Those registry keys are documented in this MSDN article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190212 I'd also observe that the tip is by Francesco Balena who is an uber-guru - he wrote one of the biggest selling books on VB6, he is regional director for MSDN Italy, etc etc – MarkJ Jan 14 '10 at 12:39

They are stored in these two registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\Microsoft Visual Basic HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0

Access them by running Regedit.
