Larry,
 
Simply copy enitre AmiBroker folder.
Also in the User's Guide you will find the description of 
files that AmiBroker uses.
I attached it here too:
 
 

DATA FILES
  Data - default database folder, contains 
  broker.master, broker.workspace, 0-9, A-Z, 
  '_' symbol data subfolders and Layouts 
  subfolder. <A 
  href="">Read 
  this to learn more about AmiBroker database concepts.
  broker.master - binary data file containing the table of 
  all symbols available in the database. Used for quick loading of symbols. The 
  table of symbols includes information about assignments of symbols to 
  categories (markets, groups, sectors, industries, watch lists, indices and 
  favorites). If you delete this file AmiBroker will re-create it because this 
  information is available also in the individual symbol data files. 
  broker.workspace - binary data file containing the 
  information about the database settings (interval, data source used, etc), 
  category names, global advance/decline data, etc. If you delete this file you 
  will lost database settings and category names will be reset to defaults. 
  default.awl, *.awl - Amibroker Workspace layout files. 
  Text files that contain the information about the <A 
  href="">layouts 
  and chart sheets. The default.awl file stored in "Layouts" subfolder 
  inside database folder contains default LOCAL layout for this database. The 
  default.awl file stored in "Layouts" subfolder of AmiBroker main directory 
  contains default GLOBAL layout (used when there is no local layout present). 
  If you delete this file then default layout will be generated based on 
  default.layout file that is supplied with AmiBroker. 
  broker.charts - binary file containing information about 
  all custom indicators (including settings and formulas). If you delete this 
  file you will loose all custom indicators. 
  broker.bcharts - binary file that contains 
  interpretation/additional code for built-in indicators. If you delete this 
  file you will loose all interpretation code that is included with built-in 
  indicators 
  broker.layers - text file that contains information about 
  <A 
  href="">chart 
  layers. If you delete this file layers will be reset to factory defaults. 
  broker.groups, broker.markets, broker.sectors, broker.industries 
  - text files that contain default names for groups, markets, sectors 
  and industries. Used only at the database creation time. Later this 
  information is stored per-database in broker.workspace file. 
  If you delete them, AmiBroker will default to group n, 
  market n, sector n, industry n names, where 
  n is 1...256 
  broker.prefs - binary file that contains user preference 
  settings (available from <A 
  href="">Tools->Preferences). 
  If you delete this file AmiBroker will reset to factory default settings 
  broker.params - text file that contains persistent 
  information about <A 
  href="">user-defined 
  indicator parameters.

  Subject: [amibroker] Transfer of 
  Settings
  
  I am planning on installing AB on a new laptop 
  computer.  I would like all the settings and database info to transfer, 
  so everything is identical.  What is the best way to accomplish 
  this?
   
  Thanks,
  Larry M. Powell
