Default New Reaper installation - how to get all my prefs and stuff?

I've been running a new reaper installation with the default prefs. What do I need to do to get my old prefs, scripts, shortcuts, etc? I have the reaper folder from my previous computer but running reaper from it doesn't change anything.

Options->Preferences...->General

"Export configuration"

Export everything, and then import it into the new install. That should do it!

Crap. I didn't do this with my previous install! I just have the hard disk. Can I take some file from the C drive to do this?

Copy everything from your old REAPER appdata directory to the new.

Windows: C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\
OS X: /Users/xyz/Library/Application Support/REAPER/

Awesome! That worked. Thanks a ton. Feels like I'm home.
