Saving Your Options Permanently

All settings made in the Options menu are written to the text member XML-INI.

Whenever a new Natural fix or service pack is installed, all settings made in the Options menu are overwritten.

In order to keep your settings permanently, you are recommended to save the text member XML-INI to the FUSER before you install a fix or service pack.
