Reconfiguration incident to enabling an application access to setup information therefor
First Claim
1. A method for reconfiguring a destination computer to access setup data for at least one destination software application performed by the destination computer, the method comprising:
- identifying first setup data accessible to at least one but less than all destination software applications performed by the destination computer;
preserving the first setup data; and
enabling use by less than all of the destination software applications of second setup data rather than the first setup data.

Abstract
The setup data from a source application or computer may be accessed and used to supplant the setup data from a destination application or computer, and the supplanted setup data may be preserved for reinstatement or future access. The destination computer may be reconfigured to access setup data for one of its destination software applications. For instance, reconfiguration may include identifying first setup data accessible to at least one but less than all destination software applications performed by the destination computer, preserving the first setup data, and enabling use by less than all of the destination software applications of second setup data rather than the first setup data.
