Upgrading from XP to 7. How do I save my settings?

[Mamilossa]

I am about to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. I want to save all my settings for my various programs that I use in the Master Collection CS5, like Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop,...

I dont' want to start over and re-configure everything. What files should I be looking for on my local C-Drive and where are thet located? Do I leave them there, or should I save them to an external device and then re-install them on the computer after Windows 7 is installed?

Please help.

Thank You.

I don't know if there is a single resource available that details the saved settings files for each program in the CS5 suite, but you might be able to follow one as an example and determine others from it.  Here's one found by searching Google using the search terms "Save Adobe CS5 settings" :

You might also be able to find others if you specify the software name in the Google search.
