Remarks

The Customization Form provides two buttons that allow an end-user to save the current layout to an XML file and then load it later. Clicking these buttons invokes the Save and Open dialogs respectively. Use the DefaultSaveDirectory and OptionsCustomizationForm.DefaultRestoreDirectory properties to specify the directories initially opened by these dialogs.
