maybe by using theme manager to pack up your setup as a suite?

Try this...in each Object Desktop app there's a folder containing themes, skins etc.
If you have a DVD player (Duh who doesn't)you can copy these folders to a DVD disk as opposed to a regular CD. Graphic details won't be lost. If you have a backup utility like Nero or one similar use that app to backup your folders, reformat, install first what you need to then copy the folders back into their original places. Worked for me.
Had to do that three times already
Good luck

That requires a dvd burner, not just a dvd player. The skins and stuff should be able to fit on a CD anyway.
Also, Archiving with SDC.

I tried to edit to correct that but I was denied access. Burning them to a DVD is a better choice, not for size but for quality.
