Restoring Charicter info

I had to reformat my harddrive.

I now have no idea how to restore my Char's UI settings, Bot names, all that stuff.

Anyone have advice on where that stuff is stored, so I can search my back ups?

If you reformated your HD then it's all gone. poof. If you have software to recover the data, then it's in your main EQ folder labeled UI_

bot names can be gotten by using #bot list , as well.

True, everything is gone from my hard drive, but not from the Carbonite backup or from the external drive back up I made before the reformat.

I now know what to search for.

Thanks.

eqclient.INI holds your general settings (resolution, screen position, graphical settings and such).

UI_CharacterNameHere_Hiddenforrest.INI Contains your UI information, as in what goes where in your screen.

CharacterNameHere_HiddenForrest.INI Contains your macro and button information

For titanium clients these files will restore your ui and buttons.
