I'm setting up a laptop and would like to export everything from my

If your two machines are the same OS version, and have the same drive
structure, yes. I do it all the time, just copy the entire contents of
the profile folder.
If the OS versions are different (say Win 7 to Win XP) you can still do
this but you'll have to edit the pref.js file on the target computer to
adjust some of the paths that will be different.
Editing the prefs.js file is not necessary. There are equivalent
preferences with relative paths that take over, when the absolute paths
don't work. Then end with "-rel". e.g. mail.server.server1.directory-rel
Really? Have you tested this, Chris? A copy over from a Win 7 system
to a Win XP system?
