4557.0. "How to duplicate Netscape Navigator's Setup?" by TAV02::NITSAN (One side will make you larger) Thu Mar 20 1997 07:22

Hello,

I've noticed that Netscape Navigator 3 (on Windows 95) saves all my setup
in the "Registry" of which I know very little.

Is there a way to "copy" all my setup to another PC (running the same
Netscape Navigator 3), or must I configure the whole thing again and again?

Alternatively, is there a way to somehow enter the above setup as a "script"
of text-based commands (that can be easily saved and copied)?

	You use the REGEDIT utility, which comes with Windows 95. You have to start it from the RUN menu. Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator. Then use the export command on the REGEDIT Registry menu. Copy the resulting file to the new machine, double click on it, and the new settings are installed on the new machine. jeb
