How to do it

Warning

If you have to reinstall your system, before to reinstall your programs, backup your preferences.

This extra step is necessary because the new installations will overwrite the previous working setttings.

A simple workaround is to create a Backup folder (the name doesn’t really matter) inside those folders and Drag`n`Drop inside your previous working preferences.

When your programs will be reinstalled, just Copy Paste the previous working preferences from the Backup folders to your User Folders.

Note

Some programs store their preferences in other specific locations.

For those exceptions, to keep your program preferences centralized, read the documentation of your program and relocate everything inside your relocated user folders.
