Migrating to New Windows Profile

Colin Chapman Beginner Posts: 2 Points: 1 Rating: 0 Authority: 0 Joined: 16 February 2005	#1 0 16 February 2005 19:04:50 I've got a user who has created a new Windows profile on her XP machine. Now when she opens The Bat, it is missing all her settings and wants her to set up a new account. What is the procedure for migrating to the new profile?

Start Regedit while you're in her original account, save the registry settings for TB on disk. You can find those in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!
Now switch to the new profile and open the registry file. This will load them in the registry and all settings will be restored.

Of course this doesn't work properly when the message base is stored on a location where only the original profile has access.
