    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.
