Now that we have command line restore of .xml settings during a clean install in the latest versions of Classic Shell (thanks so much
), it sure would be nice to have command line backups once the program is installed so that we could periodically run backups through Windows Task scheduler and not have to manually use the mouse in Classic Shell's GUI every time we remember to think about making a backup. I have tried to automate backups using AutoIt but it can't get past that drop down menu on the "Backup" button. I also used to back up the Classic Shell registry settings in hopes that would work but, as many people have pointed out, restoring those in lieu of the .xml file doesn't work.
