Hi Geoff, Dick is correct - just fire up RegEdit from the "Run..." command. Then keep drilling down in the left column: 1st to HKEY_CURRENT_USER 2nd to Software 3rd to Astro_PC 4th to Ciel
With Ciel highlighted in the left column, you'll probably see two key's in the right column, Default and Install_Dir You should also see some subfolders in the left column, under Ciel. Probable folders are Toolbars, Position, Config, Color, Catalog, etc. While you've got the Ciel Folder highlighted on the left, use the menu at the top, under "Registry" then "Export Registry File". Name it and Save it to somewhere you'll remember. Then use notepad to open the file, and you'll all your settings for all the folders and keys under "Ciel". To install it, just doubleclick the *.reg file, and it will be imported into the registry automatically. One caveat with this method - you have to install to the exact same path as you had before, otherwise, you'll need to edit the path in the exported Registry key (its in the "Install_Dir" key) before you import it to reflect the new path. Gimme another shout if that doesn't square you away (make sure you list what ver of windows you are using too).
