Ah yes, that does work. (I had never used that particular feature before, ha)

So far, yes, that seems to be the case, if I understand "changing settings". For
example, under OPTIONS:SCRIPT I/O RESTRICTIONS in the 667 beta, I changed some
of the stuff there from my usual v3.7 settings and rendered a few scenes, closed
the program, then checked 3.7 to see if *its* settings had changed: nope, all
good so far. Ditto the respective quickres render settings. Is this what you
mean?

When I finish testing this beta and uninstall it, I'll check the Windows
registry to see if the process was clean and complete.
