Hi

To locate where the "active" AnimalSearch.WSC file is located:

Start regedit.exe

Go to the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AnimalSearch.WSC\CLSID\

Default value there will have a GUID sting, something similar
to this: {C8E9C3F5-043B-4AA3-97B9-781681910643}

Now go to the registry key (easiest way is to search for <GUID you found>):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\<GUID you found>\ScriptletURL\

Default value there will tell you where the file s located.

Now copy this file over to the new computer, and then (on the new
computer) right click on the file and select "Register" in the menu.

That's it.
