   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.

  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,  
  Tim
