Just one note of caution: I hope you saved your TB! Keys. I had saved mine in a separate folder, and therefore I could "register" TB! again. Otherwise I would have had to go back to Ritlabs. Somehow, even moving the Backup over, the application itself came over as an evaluation copy. Perhaps this will not be your experience. Hope not. But always a good idea to hang onto any application's Keys. -- Best regards, Mary Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

When you do the backup you will find you can select each account, address book, and preference file to be included. You then simply install TB! on the new machine and load the backup.

Or is there a better way to do it? If you make sure the folder you are installing TB into is 100% equal to the one you have today then at least the folders and subsequently the Sorting Rules will work. There might be things in the Registry though that you'll miss...but I don't think so. / St Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
