More "access denied" - program configuration files

New to Vista. My old laptop bit the bulled and unfortunately I could
not find an acceptable replacement new without it :(.

I have some program where I spent a long time configuring options. So
after re-installing the programs, I'd like to copy the ini or cfg
files (in one case it's a reg file) into the applicable Programs
folder. I can get to the folders but when I try to copy the file, I
get "access denied".

I've been able to figure out how to change the file properties/
permissions on an individual basis, but is there a more global
solution?
