you are in the car, and a regular LCD setting when you are using headphones. You could
create configuration files that control only the volume and LCD settings. Create a few
different files with different settings, give each file a different name (such as car.cfg,
headphones.cfg, etc.), and you can then use the Browse .cfg files option to quickly
change settings.
A special case configuration file can be used to force a particular setting or settings
every time Rockbox starts up (e.g. to set the volume to a safe level). Format a new
configuration file as above with the required setting(s) and save it into the /.rockbox
directory with the filename fixed.cfg.
12.3.3 The Manage Settings menu
The Manage Settings menu can be found in the Main Menu. The Manage Set-
tings menu allows you to save and load .cfg files. The Manage Settings menu also
allows you to load or save different firmware versions.
Browse .cfg Files Opens the File Browser in the /.rockbox directory and displays
all .cfg (configuration) files. Selecting a .cfg file will cause Rockbox to load
the settings contained in that file. Pressing Left will exit back to the Manage

their default values.

Hint: Use the Save .cfg File feature (Main Menu → Manage Settings) to
save the current settings, then use a text editor to customize the settings file. See
Appendix section D (page 139) for the full reference of available options.

settings.
Save Theme Settings This option writes a .cfg file to your player’s disk. The config-

settings.
12.4 Firmware Loading
When your player powers on, it loads the Archos firmware in ROM, which automatically
