Question Using mod settings on another PC

Hi, i wanted to know if i am able to use my addons' saved settings on another PC? I am going to play WoW on another computer in summer, and i dont want to reconfigure all of my addons' settings again and again.

I m using bartender, qhelper, decursive, afflicted, bagnon, gladius, dbm, msbt, dcp, omen, sexymap, shieldmonitor...

If i can do it, how?

Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is back up your Interface and WTF folders to thumbdrive/cd or whatnot. I normally make a regular backup of those files and zip em up on my backup drive.

Taken from Wowwiki:

WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\RealmName\CharacterName\AddOnName.lua - Per-character settings for each individual AddOn.

Moving its contents to another computer will therefore make that computer have the same settings as the addons you copied the SavedVariables from.
