Stan, thanks. With my small account it wasn't much of a problem to do it all manually (once I knew where and what needed to be done!), but I'm sure your batch file is a great tool for higher volume situations. I do agree with everyone that help for 'just-a user' folks like me is important. I

Norbert. Don't over think this. Which word processor do you use? How did you move all your wordprocessor documents, template & settings from old to new? GC really isn't very different. you have one or more accounts data files (ie.documents) saved somewhere (there are also some auto-backup

David, thanks, that works slick as you said. I've been known to over-think at times. Once again. . . Liz, RE:Preferences, to amateur-me it looks like the registry differences between the old and new installs are minor. I've read the FAQ but I don't know how to actually move the old keys over
