Restoring Site Definition Files - for a large number of sites
I exported all my site def's from old PC. Have them in a folder. In DW on my new machine, I can go into "Import" and select multiple sites but then it requires me to, one-by-one, repoint to each folder for each website. I have all my websites - with all the same names - under a "Webs" folder. And I probably have 1,000 websites that all have to be imported. Please tell me there is a way to just drop these all back in without having to renavigate to the Webs folder for every single site.
I tried going into the REGISTRY folder, which I located, but couldn't figure out how to insert / paste the .ste files all into the registry. Is this step only necessary to copy / export the existing definitions?
What can you suggest for people like me who need these site definitions easily moved / copied / synced at all times? It takes a massive amount of time to reconnect all of these.
Thanks in advance.
