possible to make changes to admin?

[RickSilver]

Is it possible to modify the admin pages and be sure they won't be changed by updates?

I have some user settings that I save in the UserSettings table and want to be able to view/edit them using the Edit User page.

Thanks
Rick

They will get automatically overwritten if an upgrade has the same file in it. You would need to name them something different, be careful when you upgrade, etc. I normally make a copy of most of the files on a site before I do an upgrade. (not images). Then I can put my customizations from the old page in to the new one and I also have a copy so that if I forget a file and overwrite it I can retrieve my code.
