My machine is playing up and i want to do i reinstall, however i have about

Hi

I think this information is saved in the file rasphone.pbk that can
be found in the following location(s):

[Drive]:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\

--> If the connection is created for all users.


[Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data
\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\

--> If the connection is created for one user account.

So can i just copy the relevant file then copy it back to that location on
the new machine and all connections will be re-entered or do i have to do
some sort of export import?

I think that the username/password is not transferred with the file.
