Scott,

 

Thats a registry entry and if its not something you are familiar with it is probably best to leave well alone!

Norm,

 

Can't you hook the computers up together and export the entry to the new computer and then import it into that registry?

Whilst the act of doing so is very easy, if the user is unfamiliar with the registry things can get very tricky.

 

The following is how to do it. Do it though at your own risk!

 

Old PC.

* Click start, run, type regedit then press return.

* Click the plus next to:

** HKEY_CURRENT_USER

** Software

** Level 27 Technologies. Ensure that this is highlighted.

* Click the File menu

* Select export

* By default the export will be the desktop. You can change this to wherever you want.

* Give the exported file a name (I chose sb3 settings) and click on save.

 

The file icon will be like a piece of paper with a green coloured cube

 

New PC.

[Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming the saved file is available to the new PC

* Click start, run, type regedit then press return.

* Click the File menu

* Select import

* Browse to the sb3 settings registry file you previously saved

* Click OK.

 

All should now be done.

 

Any problems speak with your significant other - Im taking no blame
