Extracting Application Data From Registry?

[jim evans]

One of the most painful parts of changing to a new computer is having
to reconfigure all the applications. Installing them isn't so bad,
but it takes me months to get them configured they way I had them.

It dawned on me there might be a way to extract the application
configuration data from the registry and then insert it in the new
registry. Does anyone know of an application that does this? A free
one would be nice since I only do this about once every three years.
And about getting egg in my beer . . .

There's a function within Office to do this - Start-All Programs-Microsoft
Office-Microsoft Office Tools-Save My Settings....

I can't find that in Word 2002, but doesn't it just extract Office
settings? I'm looking for something that does that for all
applications.

yes it does that for office settings only. I suspect you will have to do it
application by application.....
