Imported settings into WinSCP but sessions still not showing

Question

I followed this guide trying to copy session information from my old Windows install to the new one:

The old session information does appear in the registry in the new computer, but when I close and reopen WinSCP, the sessions aren't there. Is there a step I'm missing?

Answer 1

Found the answer - newer versions of WinSCP create a winscp.ini file in the C:\Program Files(x86)\WinSCP directory. Removing this makes WinSCP use the registry keys.
