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.

Why did you choose to leave that information out until after you were
given solutions?

Note: no response.


WTF does "a previous setup of Windows mean? You reinstalled Windows?
You upgraded Windows?

Reformatted and reinstalled, actually.

So you expect to transfer an application, its preferences, and its
files, from a disk that was reformatted? How could even you be that
stupid?

How could you be so stupid as to think I wouldn't have used a utility
such as Norton Ghost to backup everything?



Why did you need to transfer an application to a machine it was already
on? "Transferring" applications means moving them to other machines.

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.

Sure you did.

No, I didn't.

Okay, so you stole your Mac. My bad.

LOL




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.

To keep those things on a machine they were already on? You're
fscked up in the head.

After a reformat and reinstall.

See what I mean about you being fscked up in the head? Reformating
wipes out everything on the disk. You have nothing to transfer.

Really? You can't make backups of Windows systems, then?



It wasn't simply a matter of resetting a couple of settings.

It shouldn't have been a matter of doing a damn thing!

I realize you have a pretty simple view of the world,

In this context "realize" means bull*** you make up.

LOL

Why do you bother to post that?

LOL



but it isn't always that way.

There wasn't anything wrong with what I told you. You went out of
your way to create a misleading post.

You simply didn't understand that I meant *an* app's setup.

You're wrong... again! You weren't transferring an application.
Your whole thread is bogus.

Nope. I was transferring all the settings and data files of one app from
a backup of the C drive to the newly reformatted and reinstalled Windows
setup.






Then use the Wizard I mentioned above.

As I said, not possible in this case.

Who cares? Go pound sand.

LOL

Why don't you make me?

I make you every time I take a crap. If I didn't flush you down, the
world would be overrun with Alan Baker clones.

LOL
