[nvda] Re: Questions

I strongly recommend the febe extension, and it's counterpart as they recompile and reinstall extensions, and can be configured to back up other things as well. If you don't use many extensions, and they are easy to configure, then it is less of a big deal, but if you have a few, and some of them have quite a few optsions you will save time, and as the code is recompiled you have less chance of errors that one could get copying. All your profile will just work as it was. (even if you just copy the most important ap data files now, get this extension in case you have a problem with a newly installed plug-in or extension, a serious malware attack, or any other problem) (it's like a restore point in windows; on steroids)

Thank you for explaining that.  I've seen that folder, I just don't play

Thanks for taking the time to explain what I need. This makes several
other things easier, too. I won't have to set up all my programs from
scratch after all. :) I just about cried while taking a look at all the
stuff I have on here. It's time I did some serious weeding of stuff,
sure. This computer is going to get recycled n the family--someone (my
daughter) wants her own computer, and we figure she can eventually use
it. I figure I can just let my sighted husband handle reformatting the
drive and setting it up for her, except maybe I'll have a copy of NVDA
on there so I can peek at what she's doing sometimes.

I must remember to start looking for five-year-old-friendly programs to
install.

Oh, both computers, the one I am currently using, and the new one I will
be getting, are Windows XP Pro, so that at least will be easy. :)

Hello.

All your settings are in application data. If you go to run by
pressing windows r, type %appdata% and then press enter. Depending on
your operating system, you'll be in a folder called application data,
or in a folder called roaming.

For NVDA, copy the folder called NVDA; for Thunderbird, the folder is
called, surprise surprise, Thunderbird, and for firefox, it is called
Mozilla. Copy these folders to the other computer and place them in
the same location (remember, windows r for run, type %appdata%,
enter). If the folder on your old computer says Application Data, and
the folder on your new computer says Roaming, this is ok--one computer
is running XP and the other Windows 7. Nevertheless, this is still
your application data folder.

Let me know if that works.
