Hello all,
The IT department at my company recently migrated all of our PC's to an
Active Directory domain. In the process, a new user profile was created
under the "Documents and Settings" folder, and all of my Visual Studio
settings have been reset. Obviously these settings are tied to the user
profile somehow. I do have access to my old user profile directory, and I
was hoping there were files I could simply copy from one directory to the
other to restore these user settings (fonts, colors, preferences, etc.).

Thanks for any help.
Will.
 
There is a directory called documents and settings.
This dir has files for your settings and your app data and your documents
(which also has visual studio project files) etc..
Search for the directory for you old user id and copy the files within that
folder to you new dir.
You might has write error cause some files will be in use on current profile
so log in as admin and then copy the files between profiles...

enjoy...
