Hi Rosemary, What we did, to do what you want to do is this: Install PAF on the laptop and open the preferences window so they are visible on the screen. Have the laptop beside your desktop machine. Open the preferences window on your desktop machine. Visually read them from the desktop machine and enter the exact same info into the laptop's PAF. Thereafter, whenever you open PAF on the laptop, it will have the same preferences. You can also install the PAF program on a flash drive and just take the flash drive with you.

I am not sure that anything other than the default is used if you run off a flash drive. It may be that there is an option to store the preferences in a file for the flash drive type of application. I will try to look some more and see if there are some options.

Thank you Larry. Seems that there isn't an easier way than to manually copy everything - I really was hoping that there was a quicker way :-( Rosemary Larry wrote: > Hi Rosemary, > > What we did, to do what you want to do is this: > > Install PAF on the laptop and open the preferences window so they are > visible on the screen.
