tablet backup

Somewhere I once read a way to save the settings for a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet and transfer it from machine to machine by saving one of its files, but I can't find those specific instructions again (for PC). Any tips?

I have an Intuous3, and this sounds like a really good idea.. I spent far too long setting up my various prefs to see them wiped out. So I did a google on it.. found this.

"I also recommend that people making a lot of helpful customizations, back up the pref file when you get it the way you want it. That way if something requires uninstalling or deletion of the dat/pref file you can just drop the backup into the system32 folder and you are off and running again without reconfiguring the settings. That filename on your system would be tablet.dat located in the system32 folder."
