    New Laptop - How do I transfer settings

    Hi - got a new Toshiba laptop.

    I currently have Photoshop CS5 on a Windows XP laptop.

    How can I or where do I find the files I need to copy all my settings, and profiles for PS and bridge to a new laptop with Windows 7.

    I don't know if this covers all PS and Bridge settings but it's a start.

    Location of the Photoshop preferences file.

    Functions, names, and locations of preference files in Photoshop CS3
    Photoshop Cs4
    Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS4
    Photoshop Cs5

    It seems that the locations in XP are different than in Windows 7

    Yeah locations changed since win7 came out. another folder you should look that it has nothing to do with photoshop is "documments and settings" is inside your Local Drive, there you will find your entire profile(my documents, desktop, email etc.)

    You will also have to watch out for which program files folder things go in because of the 64 bit element of windows 7.
