On the Mac, this is a piece of cake, but I had to try and make it work
with BVRP's PhoneTools.

Well?

You're welcome.

Oh! So you have to buy something.

Or you could just use the File and Transfer Wizard that's included with
Windows XP, as I told Snit.

Nope. Wouldn't have worked. I wasn't transferring it from one *machine*
to another, but from a previous setup of Windows on the *same* machine.


On the Mac, I just copy the app and a few easily found preference files.

It's not a privilege I'd spend an extra $1K to have.

And I didn't.


And then there's the little business that I don't want to move *all* the
apps, settings, etc. I just want to move *one*.

You can't just install a single app and set its preferences? That's
too tough for you?

And keep the various fax files and voice mail files and phonebook
entries. It wasn't simply a matter of resetting a couple of settings. I
realize you have a pretty simple view of the world, but it isn't always
that way.


Then use the Wizard I mentioned above.

As I said, not possible in this case.
