Default Transferring OE6 -- Including Newsgroups

I use two computers (home and road) and MS-XP with OE6 on both. I transfer
the message store folder "Outlook Express" from one to the other as needed.

Everything transfers between the two computers just fine except the
newsgroups. There are .dbx files for them in the transferred folder, but OE
doesn't see them.

I'll guess that some registry keys have to be set. Where do I find the
instructions to do that?

Thanks,

TKM

Newsgroups will not transfer unless you clone your identity.
