Move FP2003 code snippets to another PC?

Besides the add-ins that are popping up (and cost $$$), anyone come up with
a way to easily move code snippets from one install to another on a
different PC? I can probably find it in the registery and export the keys
but don't want to waste my time looking if someone hacked this one already.

Can't believe that they didn't put an import/export function in for this!?!

Mark,

Technically, my add-in doesn't cost money since it comes free with my book.
It also includes some key features not available in any other product.

With that said, Snippets are made up of up to three different files:

FPSnippets.xml - Located in the Templates\1033\Snippets11 folder inside of
your Office install folder, this file contains the default FrontPage Code
Snippets.

FPSnippetsCustom.xml - Located in the <profile_folder>\Application
Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\Snippets folder, this file contains any custom
Snippets you've added.

FPSnippetsHidden.xml - Located in the same folder as the custom file, this
file contains any Snippets you have deleted from the default entries in
FrontPage.

Backing up and/or restoring these is a breeze, even without an add-in. The
one area where SnipView excels is that it allows you to easily merge
selected Snippets into FrontPage. Other tools only allow you to merge
entire Snippet files, something that you're likely not going to want to do.

Cool! That's far easier than I would have imagined it would be.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out for your book next time I'm in
B&N.
