I'm on win 10. Every time I try to load a backup of the classic start menu settings I get the error "XML parsing error: An invalid character was found in text content". I also tried to load the backup to another pc and I get the same error. I have tried to make several backups but they all make the same error when loading. Any suggestions on what goes wrong?

Something must have corrupted the skin settings. Open the XML file in Notepad and delete these two lines:
<Line>lnk</Line>
<Line></Line>

@Ivo; @Gaurav

Thanks a lot. Both solutions (are alike) work out.
