Restore EAC settings

I spent a lot of time researching and configuring EAC to work the way I wanted.  But I since installed Win 7 and I want to get back that configuration without all the research again.  I have a backup of the filesystem EAC was configured on.  Is the the EAC settings stored in an ini file that I can copy to a new install of EAC?  Is there a process to restore the settings?

They're stored in the Registry under HKCU\Software\AWSoftware

You can always create a profile instead, which may work better.  In addition to copying CDDB.DAT, that should be everything.

EDIT: Cited the specific EAC dat file since there is discussion about ntuser.dat later on.

All your settings are in one file "ntuser.dat" that resides in your old userprofile (documents and settings\YOURUSERNAME\ntuser.dat). Upload a copy somewhere, send me a p.m. where to load and I'll extract your settings to a .reg-file. You can import it to your actual registry and your settings should be back.

So it wouldn't be possible just to put the .dat in new computer? You have to make it a .reg file?

Yes, the .dat-file has all the user settings of all programs of your old system. You cannot copy that, it will not work.

Thanks for the offer.  If it's just a matter of copying all the keys from beneath /Software/AWSoftware/EAC, I can do that.  This is physically the same computer as what I'm trying to restore from, so I suspect the Drive Options is ok to restore as well.

If you've been using AccurateRip, there's one more key to restore:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP]
.
Don't forget to copy your EAC profiles and at least cddb.dat too.


Best regards ...
