    AA>                        Hello all,   
    AA> If you use WinPoint, you might have the answer for me :) Is there a way   
    AA> to "transfer" WinPoint from one PC to a new one without the setup   
    AA> routine? Thinking about copy and paste kinda thing. If not, where does   
    AA> WinPoint store the configuratio file? Thanks for any advise.   
    AA> Ralf   
      
   Simple:   
      
   1. Copy   
   1.1 program directory to the same location on the new computer (or use setup   
   and enter some garbage)   
   1.2 copy the WinPoint data directory (default: %AppData%\WinPoint , can also   
   be found by showing some folder from the Fidonet menu) to the %AppData% on the   
   new machine.   
      
   2. use regedit.exe to export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\New.Visi   
   n.Software\WinPoint and import it on the new machine   
      
   If in 1.2 the path for %APPDATA% has changed between the     
   machines (e.g., because of a different user name), just go     
   (after step 2) to the settings dialog and fix all entries in     
   the "directories" tab to point to the location from 1.2.   
   Regards,
