 The easiest way is to simply copy the //settings-Scheme_Default.xml file// from one installation to the other, replacing the original.  The file is located at //C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version number>\settings//.  This may also work when upgrading versions, but it is somewhat risky, as some settings change between versions.
-> Note - the location for these files mentioned above is a folder hidden by Windows by default. You can access this quickly by hitting the Windows Start button and typing **%appdata%** and Enter which gets you to "Roaming", then navigating to the appropriate folder. <username> represents your Windows account username, <version number> is 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 etc.

 =====Toolbars=====
-Separate from the other options, workspace files contain most of the info for toolbars/buttons such as which buttons are in which toolbar, command macros for each button and button images. Workspace files have the extensions .rui in V5 and later. You can copy this file between installations as well.  The default location for these files is also in a hidden folder:
+//**Note on V8**: The entire toolbar structure and arrangement has been completely re-written for V8.  V8 no longer uses .rui files, the new format is .rws (Rhino Workspace). Rhino 8 can however import .rui files from V7 successfully in most cases. As soon as V8 is more or less finalized, I will update this section with detailed information on the V8 workspace structure procedures for transferring settings.//
