Start->Programs->{your_solidworks_version}->SolidWorks Tools->Copy settings wizard

Then save your settings, rename the extension to .reg and you have a settings file that will work with any username/pc.

Once this file has been created, what directory does it need to go in for the new PC?

Thanks,

None ... you just need to have access to it when running the Copy Settings Wizard on the new PC.

Just a note ... I always do this when installing a new SW version so I never lose my settings.
