NetVisualize will automatically save changes to a file when the program is exited if this box is checked. If unchecked, when the user exits the program a dialog window will popup to prompt the user to save changes if the file has been modified.

Create backups when overwriting file
When checked this option enables automatic backup creation. Backups will be created in the directory specified by the Backup Folder Path user preference whenever a file is being overwritten. The backup file will have the same name as the NetVisualize file except it will have a .bak extension when the "Rename to .bak extension" is selected. If the "Rename and rotate by day of week" radio button is selected, a three letter abbreviation corresponding to the day of the week is be appended to the backup file name (e.g. NetVisLinks_mon.bak).
Backup folder
This preference determines the folder path (directory location) on disk that will be used to store backup files when a file is being overwritten, if the option to create backups is enabled.
Backup type
This preference controls the method of naming backup files that are created when files are being overwritten, if the option to create backups is enabled. The backup file will have the same name as the NetVisualize file except it will have a .bak extension when the "Rename to .bak extension" is selected. If the "Rename and rotate by day of week" radio button is selected, a three letter abbreviation corresponding to the day of the week is be appended to the backup file name (e.g. NetVisLinks_mon.bak).

Header template, Link template, Folder template, Footer template
The HTML header, footer, folder, and link templates determine the layout of the HTML file exported when the "HTML Thumbnail Links Page", "HTML Thumbnail Pages in Folders", or "HTML Thumbnail Hierarchy" export options are chosen. The template files provided with the software can be edited by the user, or new template files can be created. To use template files other than those used by default, enter the name and path of each template file in the appropriate edit box. A file dialog can be opened for use in selecting a template by clicking the button next to the edit box. It is recommended that any user-customized templates be renamed to have filenames different from the defaults. This will prevent the customized template files from being overwritten (and thus prevent losing the customizations) when new versions of NetVisualize are installed.

Import all links and folders
If this option is selected then after the import process the open file will contain all the links and folders that were present in the imported file, whether or not the open NetVisualize file already contained the same links and folders. This may result in duplicate links and folders.
Import only links and folders that do not already exist
If this option is selected, links and folders that already exist in the open NetVisualize Favorites file will not be imported. This will help prevent duplicate links and folders.
Exclude empty folders from import
If this option is checked, folders that are empty will not be imported. Also, if the "Import only links and folders that do not already exist" option is also selected, and all of the links within a folder in the file being imported already exist in the open file, then the folder will be considered empty and will not be imported.
Automatically locate Internet Explorer favorites for import
If this option is checked, the Internet Explorer favorites folder will be automatically located. Otherwise, the user will be prompted for the import location.
