I have built up a new machine and I was wondering if theirs a way to get my settings from my old machine to the new one. I know of File and Transfer settings but it doesn't do what I want.

What im asking is that you know how some of us users, like to have say in my pictures > thumbnails and in my music List views in folders. In my documents I have it set to Icons and the rest I have the window size and position set to just how I like them. My downloads folder is set to show all details and is set in to group listing.

I was hoping theirs a way to save my current settings and transfer them to a new machine because I know from second hand that after reinstalling windowsxp it sets every single folder to Tiles. I don't want it as Tiles, yes I know theirs a setting in folder options to set every folder looking like the one you like but that no good to me. Cause if I set them all matching what about my pictures or my music? I have loads of different folders with different settings for each one.

any help on this problem would be nice. I found a script yesterday that allows you do change multi- folders in to how you like your settings at once but its all right but not brilliant. Think its still in beta format.

File and settings Transfer is supposed to do just that.
