Can someone help me get my windowblind files moved from one hard drive to another?
Monday, September 15, 2008 by NrseBiker | Discussion: Personal Computing
I just put together a new computer (so I could try playing demigod - the game wouldn't even move on my old one) Everything runs fine so the computer is good. I installed my old eide hard drive and a new sata drive in this new computer and want to move my downloaded windowblinds, icon packages, object dock files etc. from the old drive to the new one. I cut and pasted the windowblind folders from the old drive to the new drive, but when I try to install them into windowblinds on the new drive, I am unable to. Evidentally I did something wrong. I took the folders from "Documents and Settings/All Users/Shared Documents/Stardock/Windowblinds" Is there somewhere else I should have taken the files from or have I moved the wrong files? Can anyone give me a little guidance on how I should do this? Thanks for any help you can give.

You should be able to copy them from one drive to the other without too much trouble. You may have some trouble from the encrypted ones though. Install windows blinds on the new drive and then copy your blinds directory from the old drive to the new. Start windowblinds and then click on skin options and then rebuild list. If you moved them correctly, they should show up. You will need to reinstall the encrypted ones if they look corrupt.
