Migration from old to new pc by dvds on 01-12-2008 at 06:22 PM

Hello everybody,

I tried searching but didn't find anything (wrong search-keys maybe, I don't think I'm the only one with this problem). So here is my question:

I buyed a new pc because mine was getting pretty old, and now I'd like to take WLM and Messenger Plus! settings, smiles, logs,... well everything! on the old pc, and copy it to the new one.

Is there any simple/automatic way? Or do I have to do everything manually? :S

Thank you!

One tool that might interest you is the File and Settings Transfer Wizard on Windows XP (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools) That will take care of any kind of settings or files within Windows that you will want to transfer. For settings within MSN / WLM, I recommend a program called ConCon that will save all your settings there (custom emoticons, display pictures etc).
Plus settings can be exported from the preferences window, any emotion sounds can be exported to a sound pack. Scripts and skins should be reinstalled instead of copied.

Concon and export form plus worked perfectly, thank you very much!
