I will getting a new macintosh in the next couple of weeks and have spent more time than I care to admit in customization my current machine.

When I move to my new box I would like my desktop to be the same (i.e. background picture, custom drive icons, etc.), dock to be the same (i.e. application icon positions, custom icons, etc). I also want to make sure that I don't have to re-register software that I already have registered.

What is the best way to do this? Is it a matter of making sure I backup my user's library directory? Or is there more to it???

thanks in advance.

Put the new machine in firewire target disk mode, then use Carbon Copy Cloner to move your old install to it?

Or alternatively, create a user on the new machine with the same name and passweord, then just clone your users folder from old machinine to new.
