How to save the plug-in keys for Pinnacle 9.x

[MikeMike]

Hi everyone.

Tired of writing all the plug-in keys over and over again?

If yes,

I'm gonna show you how to save all the plug-in keys for Pinnacle Studio 9.x.

First you have to enable "show hidden files" and then go to:

windows dir\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pinnacle\Pixie

In "Pixie" folder you'll see a number of small files with numbers along with a file called "user" and "items". All the numeric filenames are the plug-in keys.

Copy all the files exect(!) for user -file and save them somewhere else.

You can create a self-extracting archive so it will be more like unattended. Here's how:

1. Install winrar (Get winrar here

2. Go to the "Pixie" folder.

3. "Highlight" all files exept for "user".

4. Right-klick and choose "add to archive"

5. Winrar opens and you should find some settings: Mark "create SFX-file" and "make solid archive" just under. Make sure that archive-format is set to "RAR".

Then it's time to add a commentary ( upper right corner)

6. In the big writing area you'll put this code in it:

;SFX 

Path=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Pinnacle\Pixie
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

It saves the files the the correct folder. Thats it press "OK" and your done.

NOTE: when you install Pinnacle Studio on a fresh computer, the keys will be in the "Pixie" folder. Why I don't know. Just run the .exe file you created earlier.

That's it!

I hope this helps a little
