The existing ygfconf.txt is not altered by the new installation itself, but the You’ve Got Files! program does copy it to a file named ygfconf.pre, re-parse it, and write it back (with the new version number at the top) as ygfconf.txt. If the installer does not find a ygfconf.txt file in the installation directory it does create a ygfconf.txt with the information that the installing person input during the install process.
