How do you restore a wallet? What do I do with this .dat file?

So much for being user friendly. A "Load..." option on the menu?

I would like to restore a wallet, not do a "Secure Backup for Wallet.dat". I already got a wallet.dat, how does one restore it?

Really, how come there isn't a "Restore" option on the Wallet? Why this isn't covered on a FAQ? You can backup a wallet but there's no way to restore it ?

do that guide backwards
use your saved wallet.dat
put in appropriate folder when wallet shut down
start and done

Ah very well, thank you. I didn't realize it was a simple as replacing a file.

make sure your wallet is quit - everything else super easy
