Library Registry Keys

Anybody know which registry keys to save to transfer custom library entries? I've tried the ones below and they don't seem to work when I apply them to a new machine:

LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\WorkingSetRules\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Sites\LocalHost\Paths\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\StartPages\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons

Also, I can't seem to move the desktop and a handful of other user folder from their default locations by changing the path in their registry entries.

You can find your libraries path in the next registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\{1B3EA5DC-B587-4786-B4EF-BD1DC332AEAE}

So if you want to save them you have to copy this folder.

In order to change user folders you have to go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Good luck
