Your user profile, game configuration files, keymaps and weapon groupings are stored in this directory: %userprofile%\Saved Games\Mechwarrior Online

If you're wise, you'll back up that entire directory once you have the game set up the way you like it. Ie. now!

However, if you accidentally overwrite any of the files in this directory, or have to perform a full reinstall, and you have System Restore running on the drive where this directory is stored, you can recover these files by:
1. rightclicking on the current version of the file.
2. selecting the "Previous Versions" tab.
3. highlighting a previous version
4. clicking "restore"

Hope this helps someone.
