Abstract
A computer system may include a virtual configuration settings package that captures a user's configuration settings in a user layer. The user layer may represent the files, registry entries, and the like, that make up the virtualized configuration settings. The configuration settings may be captured by filtering file system requests through a virtualization driver. The file system requests that are associated with the user's configuration settings may be redirected to the user layer. Virtualizing the configuration settings may make them much simpler to manage. The virtual configuration settings package may be selectively activated or deactivated, imported and exported, reset, deleted, and so forth. The user layer may include configuration settings from the operating system, applications, and the like.
