\note{
Settings are stored on an otherwise-unused sector of your hard disk, not in
any of the files contained in the Rockbox build. Therefore, generally
speaking, installing a new build does \emph{not} reset Rockbox to its default
settings. Be aware, however, that from time to time, a change is made to the
Rockbox source code that \emph{does} cause settings to be reset to their
defaults when a Rockbox build is updated. Thus it is recommended to save your
settings using the \setting{Manage Settings} $\rightarrow$
\setting{Write .cfg file} function before updating your Rockbox build so that
you can easily restore the settings if necessary. For additional information
on how to save, load, and reset Rockbox's settings, see
\reference{ref:SystemOptions}.
