Is it possible??? How?

Howdy....
I have the great good fortune to work at a place where I can play on the computer as long as it does not interfere with the job. SH3 works well in this in that PAUSE is a mouse click away. As a result of this I have SH3 installed on my home computer and my work PC. So far I have been running different characters on each computer, but the thought came the other day that since I have a thumb drive would it be possible to copy my save games and character data to the thumb drive and move it from one PC to the other. So there is the question...Could I do that and what files would I have to copy?? I figured the save game but are there other files needed?
Thanks for any info...

It does work, i have switched between laptop and desktop no probs. just copy the SH3 folder from my docs. That should do the trick. I also save all my old careers in case i have to reinstall for any reason, works on the same principles.

Make sure the applied mods on both pc's are exactly the same, and in the same order.

I'm not sure how SH3 Commander would handle this situation. YMMV.

Thanx to this post I managed to keep going after a full formating of my pc. I compressed everything using 7zip put it on a dvd rom. The rest you all probably know. I then extracted it to program files and my career to my docs. I carried on from where I left off.
