Maybe I was dreaming this....can someone check this out.

I was sure that I copied shared folders from one server to another.(I used robocopy to do this bit)
I exported the source shares registry key and copied the .reg file to the destination server.
On the destination server I edited the .reg file and changed the drive letter of all the shares move across (using search and replace, to the new drive letter)
I then imported the .REG key and restarted the server.

When the server came up all the shares were ready....

However the bit I have a problem with now is editing the .reg file...when I do this now all I can see is HEX information and the path information is not mentioned...

Was I dreaming?
