New Laptop - How do I transfer settings

[puppychew]

Hi - got a new Toshiba laptop.

I currently have Photoshop CS5 on a Windows XP laptop.

How can I or where do I find the files I need to copy all my settings, and profiles for PS and bridge to a new laptop with Windows 7.

I don't know if this covers all PS and Bridge settings but it's a start.

Location of the Photoshop preferences file.

Photoshop Cs3
Functions, names, and locations of preference files in Photoshop CS3
Photoshop Cs4
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS4
Photoshop Cs5
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS5

It seems that the locations in XP are different than in Windows 7

Yeah locations changed since win7 came out. another folder you should look that it has nothing to do with photoshop is "documments and settings" is inside your Local Drive, there you will find your entire profile(my documents, desktop, email etc.)

You will also have to watch out for which program files folder things go in because of the 64 bit element of windows 7.
