Most of this information I gathered from the web but I'm posting it here so I have it for my own reference.
I. Where PuTTY Settings are stored
The settings for PuTTY are stored in the windows registry. These steps show how to back-up those settings, edit them, and
re-load as needed. Note that you should make a backup copy of both
the registry and PuTTY settings file before loading any
modifications.
II. Saving the Settings
These steps will
export the PuTTY settings out to a text file on your Windows desktop.
1. Exit to a command prompt by running cmd.exe
2. Run the following command (remember to insert your username):
REGEDIT /E “C\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\PUTTY_SESSIONS.REG"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\"
1. Exit to a command prompt by running cmd.exe
2. Run the following command (remember to insert your username):
REGEDIT /E “C\Documents and Settings\
This should
create a '.reg' on your desktop. Please make a backup copy of this file
and only edit the copied file (i.e. keep a file to re-load in the
case the settings are corrupted). Once you are done editing the file, double-click to load back into the registry.
