Hi,
Please excuse my ignorance but I wonder why you need to copy those folders and 
if that is good practice. I would fear that by trying only to restore some 
custom settings you had on 7.04 you could overwrite 8.04 files with 
incompatible older files.
Could someone elaborate on this?

Just out of curiosity, but thanks anyway		Perry
