I have .NET 2003 installed on my desktop and want to have the same colours
and toolbar customisations on my laptop. The /migratesettings command line
switch only appears to work for different Visual Studio versions on the same
system.

Thanks

Try with the following files:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\1033\cmdui.prf

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\devenv.xml

All the windows and toolbars came across but not the source code syntax
colouring.

Any other ideas, thanks,

Clive

Try the registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\FontAndColors

or some of the siblings or the whole parent (use regedit.exe to inspect and
export).
