How do I copy setting from one seat to another when "Copy settings Wizard" doens't work?

This FAQ is made from the SW05 and furture versions, but this process with the Registry file itself will work for any version of SW.

If you have made the file from the "Copy settings wizard", but for some reason the "Copy Settings Wizard" will not read the file back it or after reading it in, the enters are still not right or correct.

Try this below:

1) Change the file to a *.reg file
2) Open it in Notepad
3) Make a global change to change Solidworks [Old Version] to Solidworks [Latest version]
4) Double click the Reg file and install it into the registry.

I have done this many times,
