Exporting settings to another computer

[Deek]

Hi there,
I've just bought a new computer and I'd like to transfer all of my custom
settings for Windows Live Messenger - that is, fonts, backgrounds, images,
tabs and options.
I have tried copying over the Program Files folder and even the Documents
and Settings\User\AppData folders for MSN Messenger, but these don't seem to
carry the settings.

Could somebody please help me to find where the settings are kept, or how to
export the settings?
Thanks,
-Deek
