Custom settings transfer

My problem is how to save as a file and transfer my custom settings (toolbar, pallettes, shortkeys) made in Archicad 8.1 to an installation to another computer. Please, can anyone help me? This will save me hours of work.

On the Mac:

Users > 'your user name' > Library > Preferences > Graphisoft

Here you will find folders for each version of ArchiCAD and PlotMaker you have installed. The main one of interest is "ArchiCAD 8.1 Lasting.Prefs" this is where your keyboard shortcuts, etc. are stored. If you use teamwork you will also find a prefs for each of your sign-ins.

I don't remember exactly where to look in Windows, but I believe it is also in the user folder.

PS. Please put your version and hardware info into your signature. It is much easier to respond if people know what you are using.
