But the problem in this is that if the workspace is damaged, and you delete it, all your settings are lost and everything is reset to the default NetBeans IDE settings.

- Right-click the NetBeans IDE shortcut and choose "Properties".
- In the shortcut tab, in Target, type after netbeans.exe "--userdir [Folder Path]".
- Make another shortcut of NetBeans IDE and provide a different folder path.
