> How can I backup all my Visual Studio 2003 settings (like colors, toolbar settings etc.). I would like to transfer them to another computer.
I did it this way:
In regedit, export
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\FontAndColors to
.reg file. Copy this file to other machine and double click it. This
will export and import all your color settings.
You can do the same with
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Text Editor
for other options.
To do the same in VS .NET 2002 instead of 2003, just replace 7.1 with
7.0 in the key name.
I don't know of any method to export other settings.

You'll be glad to know that in Visual Studio 2005, Import/Export Settings is
fully supported from within VS, by popular demand. So in future this
registry work won't be needed.
