Desktop settings - WHERE are they stored ?
Where are the settings in ME for Icon size and position, background
colors etc stored ? I know that I can define these settings in the display properties window - but in which Directory are the values syored ? I am installing Win XP on a new Harddrive and I would like to transfer the settings from Win ME. Since I have dozens of Icons in groups after subject on my Desktop for direct access to Programs and Files. Help is very much appreciated. |

Unless your desktop is 10 foot by 6 foot and contains thousands of icons by far the quickest and easiest way to achieve the result you want is to forget about transferring from Win Me and arrange them how you want on the XP desktop after clean installing XP. vbg However you could try using the XP Files and Settings Transfer Wizard - you will find details of how to use this on the XP CD, in XP's Help & Support and also by reading Gary Woodruff's article at http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm -- Mike Maltby |
