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
