How to transfer connection settings to new XP-Pro PC?

[Bo Berglund]

I am currently in the process of "moving into" two new PC:s, both my
desktop and my laptop are being replaced. Both are XP-Pro SP2 machines
like the old ones. Lots of software installations to do...

But there is one item I would rather have an automated way of
transferring, and this is the dialup connections I have created over
the years. It is soo tedious to find and type in all of the old
information (including the passwords) for all of them. I have probably
50-100 connectoids to handle.

Is there a way to transfer this to the new PC:s in one package?

Sorry for the crosspost, I did not know where to put this question..

wizard. Export the needed files and import them to the new
computers.

Are the connections stored as files?
In that case, where are they located and what type of files are they?

them.

This works great except it does not transfer the passwords for Outlook
Express email accounts. Before you do the transfer export each email account
to a .iaf file. When you are finished transferring the files settings with
the wizard start Outlook Express and delete all the transferred accounts
then import each .iaf file to setup the accounts with passwords. Note the
wizard does not automatically transfer the .iaf files. They will have to be
copied to external media. If they are stored in My Documents the wizard will
transfer them.

No. They're stored in the registry. FAST will export them and import them
on the target machine.
