Hello Jan,
A reminder of what Jan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) typed on:

JR> Help, Please - Transferring TB, Completely Flummoxed.
This is the way I do it.
First make a sub directory off the main Thebat! directory called
"Registry backup"
Cut out the text below, paste it in notepad and call it BCKUP.BAT and
save it in the new folder.
Navigate to it and double click on it. This will create a file called
"TBbkup1.reg" assuming you choose option 1.
Save your WHOLE Thebat! folder including sub-directories either on zip
disc CDR/RW or use whatever means you have to transfer it from one
machine to another.
When you've transferred it, navigate to the "TBbkup1.reg" file and double
click on it. This will restore all the registry entries exactly as they
were before. There is no need to reinstall TB!
I've used this method on numerous occasions. Win98 to WinSE, Win98 to
Win2K and just recently from a 233mmx to a new fresh from the shop 533
Celeron. So far it has never failed me.
I did have one problem when coming back from Win2K to Win98 but that was
a minor detail with the address book. Apart from that I'm still using the
same installation I started with over a year ago... With the odd upgrade
here and there of course.
HTH... Good luck.

Many thanks to Januk Aggarwal for supplying it. I personally don't know
what I would have done without it.
