Transferring PuTTY settings

if you're like me, you spend plenty of time in PuTTY. Basically, couldn't live without it! Anyway, when recently migrating to a new laptop, I ran into the issue of wanting to transfer my saved sessions from my old laptop to my new one. A little research led me to the wonders of the Windows Registry.

Using your source machine, drill down to My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. There you should see a SimonTatham directory. Right-click and export this entire key out to your local machine. Transfer this file to your destination machine, right-click to Merge these entries to your new registry. That's it!
