• With that registry entry selected, on the Registry menu, click 'Export Registry File'.
• In the Export range panel, note where the file will be saved to, click 'Selected branch' and save the registry entry as SophReg.
• Close the registry editor.
• Browse to the folder containing the file SophReg and copy it to floppy disk.
• Write-protect the floppy disk.

Go to the destination computer and insert the floppy disk. Browse to the A: drive and double-click the file SophReg.
