Copy the current program settings to phoa.ini If on, the current program settings will be saved to phoa.ini file in the destination fodler during copy/move operation. This allows running the program from a removable media keeping all the current settings on any machine (but only if setting autoloading from phoa.ini is not disabled in that machine's settings.)
