Listed below is an annotated copy of some of the v5 Portfolio client windows Registry settings:

; ***** WARNING *****
; DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE OR EDIT REGISTRY DATA UNLESS YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR
; WITH THE REGISTRY AND THE REGEDIT TOOL. ALWAYS BACK UP YOU REGISTRY BEFORE
; EDITING AS AN ERROR MAY CAUSE SEVERE TO THE OS. YOU USE THIS INFORMATION AT
; YOUR OWN RISK.
; ***** WARNING *****
; This Registry data has been exported from a PC running Portfolio Network
; v5.01 (International English) Windows client on Windows 2000 Professional.
; Your settings may vary if you use a different build or language version of
; the client. If you use a different version of Windows (e.g. Win 9x) then
; some of the higher level Registry key layout may vary - i.e. you may find
; this set of keys in a slightly different location though the keys
; themselves should be the same.
; If you save this file as a text file with a .REG extension file you will have a
; sample Registry patch file you can merge with an existing system to test.
; Note the User registration ID/code is held in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive and so
; long as the versions are compatible (e.g. target app patched is v5.01)
; then you should be able to 'clone your set-up from one PC to another.
