I plan to just re-download the game when I hook this new baby up. Am wondering about all those bookmarks, overview settings, etc... Anything else I am forgetting ?

There's a couple of folders worth grabbing.

Any saved fittings and exported overview settings go here:

X:\Users\xxx\Documents\EVE\

All other settings are located here:

X:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\_eve_tranquility\

The second folder contains bookmarks and everything else.


Hope that helps

You don't need everything in that folder branch.
I've found my ingame Overview, window placement settings, etc etc, are saved in:

C:\Users\usernamehere\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_games_eve_tranquility\settings\core_user_xxxxxxx.dat
and core_char_xxxxxxx.dat

xxxxxxx being the legacy API number of your EVE account.

Place those 2 files (or more if you have multiple accounts out of the same client) back in the settings folder, and you're away laughing,
