Sticking the USB drive in a windows pc isn't going to work for guisettings.xml - it's on the ext4 partition.
If I want to move 1 .xml from 1 running pi to another it doesn't get any easier than what the OP just did...
My bad. I forget that not everyone runs a Linux based OS on their PC. Reading an ext4 partition is a doddle for me. TBH when hacking around with a Raspberry Pi having a PC running Linux is a god send at times. It doesn't have to be anything flashy, any old PC with something lightweight like Lubuntu will do.
Anyway if he has a pi he has a linux computer. Attach an ext4 thingumabob to a pi and you can mess with it in windows to your heart's content.
