Where does WMC store its settings?
I'd like to ensure I back up the WMC configuration data (channels, etc.) so that I could restore them when necessary. Does anyone know where those are stored?

WMC creates backups of the configurations in c:\programdata\microsoft\ehome\mcepgX-Y\backup in subfolders lineup, recordings, and subscriptions.
Using the client, you can automatically copy these files into a zip file using the [Backup] button which will be saved in c:\programdata\garyan2\epg123\backup as backups_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.zip and can be restored using the [Restore] button.
