VS.NET 2003 Migration

I am migrating Visual Studio.Net 2003 from and old dev machine to a new one. VS.NET has tons of environmental settings and GUI options that I have modified to my liking. Is there a way to copy those settings from my old dev machine to my new one? Thanks!

And for completeness, if you want to destroy them, I had to do just that.

I used the information in the first link but not all the settings were copied. So, I exported the entire KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\ set of registry branches and values. That seems to have taken care of it.

Hopefully, I haven't caused myself some new unknown problem.

Thanks for the help!
