Keeping preferences after deleting the configuration Data (Was Up date problem)

Violaine;

After applying a fix I had similar problems thus I used the -clean option to
no avail. I have done the configuration "delete" previously and have lost
all the preferences I had set up. Hoping to save some frustration I exported
the preferences before deleting the configuration data, deleted the
configuration data and restarted WDSC. I then imported the saved
preferences. I still lost all of my previous preferences
(Window->Preferences).

Is there something I can do to save the preferences before I do an
update/install and get them back after the update/install??? Other than the
frustrating 3-4 days of "d*#& that doesn't work now, how did I set that up
in the first place???"
