Only when you have tools like Putty, which uses the Registry to store it's config, but you're running on a system where you can't run the registry editor because of policy settings, you lose all your settings when you're switched to a new system!

There's lots of tutorials around about extracting the putty config, none of which work if you can't use the registry editor.
