Boxer records most of the editor's preferences and settings in the . This includes all the options within the multi-page Preferences dialog, as well as window sizes and positions, screen colors, fonts, private clipboard content, recent files, search strings, user tools and much, much more.
Some of Boxer's settings are maintained in .INI files in order to make them readily editable and/or to facilitate the exchange of such information with other Boxer users. Here is a list of the on-disk configuration files and their content:

| On a networked PC, it may be necessary to login at a higher level to get access to RegEdit. It may then be necessary to login under the normal user name so that the HKEY_CURRENT_USER entries will be visible. |
| Some versions of RegEdit have a bug. If RegEdit reports trouble reading back a .REG file that it has created, one Boxer user has suggested saving the file as a .HIVE file instead. |
