How to transfer all data from one computer to another?

Setting up new computer for WD.
I already did logfiles and datafiles (and webfiles) and wdisplayftp.ini
Everything looks fine EXCEPT all records (all-time, etc.) are gone.
How can I transfer the all-time records?

Did you do the registry export / import ?

I did the one mentioned above (under H_KEYCURRENTUSER). Is there more?

Did you use the WD backup registry under Action? The resulting file will import itself in the new registry if you click it.

Also you need to copy over the configuration file WDISPLAY.INI from C:\WINDOWS or C:\NT
This file stores your records and a lot of settings for your program. :idea:

Ah, I misread which .ini he had copied

Ok, did .ini file from WINDOWS folder. But I think I goofed up. I upgraded to newest version on new computer, and tried to transfer the Windows .ini file from the old computer (slightly older version), and they aren’t in the same format. I see in another post that Brian changed the format at about version “f” on the current number.
Oh well, I did the yearly records manually. They can be seen in the old registry file.
