Where are the profiles stored?

Trying to export the multiple profiles I have on one computer to a newer laptop (both Windows). The manual seems to show only exporting the current profile combination.

Is this just a matter of zipping up the slic3r subdirectory and moving it?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not on a system where I can check right now, but it's somewhere inside the AppData folder, which is a hidden directory in your home folder. And yes - these are simple text files and it is an easy matter to just copy them to the new system

Yes you can just copy the Slic3r directory (compress it if you like, but the files are small enough it wouldn't matter in most cases).

As mentioned, for Vista/7/8 it's:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Slic3r

If you use Slic3r through Repetier Host, you may also find some stuff under AppData\Local\RepetierHost

Evil hidden files! FYI for others:

The "from" machine is XP and the profiles are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Application Data\Slic3r
