I've just realized what's causing my difficulty in porting my options / settings, toolbars etc. to my tablet: the fact that these are stored in a folder that depends on the username on each system. As this is different on my tablet, IQ would creates a new user folder based on the tablet's Windows username and just ignores the settings in the desktop-username-related folder that I've carried over.
 
It seems somewhat iffy that I will now have to rename the user folder every time when moving the IQ folders to the tablet, but I guess it makes sense if you want to cater for multiple user profiles... Maybe if IQ finds that it's being started without an existing settings folder for the current system username, it could offer to import the settings from other folders that exist in the 'Users' subfolder of IQ?

There is a bat file in the IQ program folder called InfoQubeForUser1.bat. You can customize this file to start for a specific user.
 
HTH !

It's working fine now, thanks!

FWIW I store anything I want to share between machines at the C: root folder level. Made my life 10x easier when moving between machines as well as moving from an old machine to a new one.

In Windows, in particular its very useful System Restore, I'm not sure the root folder is a safe place to put files

That's talking about storing files at the root level. Of course I'm not doing that , I'm storing folders at the root level. C:\Data for instance.
