Abstract: A hardware and/or software translation system to automatically apply user-specific configuration settings to a computer irrespective of the application version or operation system version for which the settings were originally established. By automatically applying user-specific configuration settings to a version of an application or operating system, the translation system eliminates any post-installation reconfiguration, thereby simplifying the process of changing or upgrading the version of an application or operating system.

Abstract: A method and system for automatic analysis of an application's runtime configuration settings is provided. The configuration processing system includes a monitoring component and an analysis component. The monitoring component observes requests for configuration information stored in configuration data stores of a monitored device. For example, the monitoring component may observe requests directed to the configuration data stores when an application starts, during runtime, and when the application exits. The monitoring component may record the observed requests in a file or data structure that may be accessed by or sent to the analysis component. Based on the observed requests of an application, the analysis component automatically identifies a reduced set of configuration settings which likely correspond to user-specific configuration settings used by the application.
