Yikes! I am in the process of getting ready to install Windows 7 which will necessitate backing up all my entire XP based drive and reloading all programs and their associated files. This discussion has me extremely worried about getting all my 'preferences' (tags, reports settings, customized facts, etc.) moved back in correctly.
My 'wish' would be for a backup or export file command that would maintain my program EXACTLY the way I'm using it now -- bringing in .usr, .rf1, and reinstalling them back in the program files without my having to do it all by hand. It sounds like I've another hour or two of reading and saving to do before I can install 7 . . .
