Managing Partial Customizations

Use the LoadCustomization and UnloadCustomization commands to add or remove partial customization files to or from the main customization file.

Partial customization files store user interface elements in separate customization files, allowing you to create and modify user interface elements without affecting the main customization file.

You can modify existing customization files or create your own customization files from scratch. Once the customization files created, you can load and unload them at any time.

To add partial customization files to the main customization file:

  1. Type LoadCustomization at the command prompt.
  2. In the dialog box, click Browse to locate a customization or menu file (*.xml, *.mnu, or *.cui).
  3. Click Add to add the file to the set of customization files.
  4. Click Close.

    The file is added to the customization sources which you can manage with the Customize command.

To remove partial customizations from the main customization file:

  1. Type UnloadCustomization at the command prompt.
  2. In the dialog box, in Customization, select the partial customization file to remove.
  3. Click Remove.
  4. Click Close.

    The partial customization is removed from the main customization file.
