How to Transfer Volocity Preferences Between Different User Accounts in Windows

On Windows, transferring Volocity preferences involves exporting the user-level preferences from the Registry and importing them into the target user account.

Steps to Transfer Volocity Preferences:

1. Export Preferences from the Donor Account:

   • Log in to the donor account (usually an administrator).
   • Open the Registry Editor:
     • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
   • Navigate to the following location:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Improvision > Volocity
   • To export preferences:
     • Right-click the Volocity folder and select Export.
     • Save the exported file as a .reg file in an accessible location, such as a shared folder or a USB drive.

2. Log in to the Target Account:

   • Log out of the donor account and log in to the new user account.
   • Access the shared folder or portable drive containing the exported .reg file.
   • Copy the .reg file to the desktop.

3. Import Preferences to the Target Account:

   • Double-click the .reg file on the desktop.
   • Confirm the prompt to allow changes to the Registry.
   • The preferences will be imported automatically to the correct location for the new user account.

4. Verify Preferences in Volocity:

   • Start Volocity in the new account. The preferences should match those from the donor account.
