Most of your settings are in the registry. You can transfer them with regedit. From the Start | Run window, type regedit.exe
Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hochsw\BinaryBoy\1.00 Under the Registry menu use the Export command to send the settings to a file. On the new computer go into regedit.exe and use the Import command to load the settings file back in.
Run the original bbst.exe on the new computer. This will update your settings with the new path to binboy.exe if necessary.
Copy your .lst files over.
Copy binboy.xml This contains your server list.
copy bbnet.map for your bbnet settings.
copy binboy.mdx and binboy.hst if you want the same history.
Copy masterlist.txt. This is your newsgroup list for the group list editor.
If you use the twit file, copy twits.txt
Copy folders.txt if it exists.
copy binboy.sch if you have a schedule set up.
copy usersplash.jpg if you have a custom splash screen.
The cache files are in ./cache but they can be recreated
