How to export / backup Windows 7 settings?

Question

Sign in to vote

I am formatting a Windows 7 64 bit based PC. To speed the new installation, I would like, before the format, to export all the present settings (energy saving, folders view, etc.). How can I do this? Is there a built-in utility or a third party software?

Thank you!

That's what Windows Easy Transfer (WET) is for. Start>Accessories>System Tools>Windows Easy Transfer
