Save/backup/export current options and toolbar configuration?

Assume I setup my favorite toolbar and adjusted the option for the current installation of Toad.
Now I want to export all these settings into a backup file.

In case of a crash or in order to adjust another Toad installation on another computer
I want to load/import this file later/on another computer.

Is this possible?

There isn't a way in Toad to do this. However it's easy enough. All of Toads options are saved in one directory so just start Toad. Go into Help|About. There is a link in this dialog that says "Data Directory". Click it and a folder will show up. Go back and shut down Toad and then create a zip file with the contents of the entire folder.

Thank you.
Is there a way to move this Data directory to another folder?

In other words I want to specify a different location where Toad stores his settings?
