It is best that these not be transfered. Ever try to get a window onto
the screen when you transfer from a machine that has its desktop set to
1600x1200 onto one that has the dekstop set to 800x600. Not fin to
move/resize as needed when most, or all, of the window is not on the screen.
The registry simply contains too much machine specific data to be reliably
imported into another machine. The time spent cleaning up the problems it
causes most often outweighs just simply remaking the few changes that need to
be made in the first place.
Microsoft really needs to look at the unix way of doing it. Never seem to
have problems there.
