Moving to a new PC, i was hoping i could save my server settings, and SP/MP settings, i have spent hours setting them all up, would much rather not do that all again.

All Doom Explorer settings are stored in file DoomExplorer.ini, by default it is located in folder %APPDATA%\Doom Explorer\ - open windows explorer and copy/paste this path there
You can save this file and use it in new comp - but keep in mind that it saves all paths to ports and wads from old comp, so you need to correct them if they will differ
Another way to make configuration fully portable - use relative paths (in Options - General) and start Doom Explorer with parameter '-appdir' - in that case file DoomExplorer.ini will be located in Doom Explorer install folder. That is:
- create somewhere folder "Doom" (for example)
- install all ports, launchers and wads in this folder (in subfolders)
- start 'DoomExpolrer.exe -appdir', check 'Relative paths' in Options-General, set proper paths for programs and wads and save configuration (when exit doomexplorer)
After that you can copy/paste folder 'Doom' to any comp and use it there without any additional settings (only remember about '-appdir' parameter) - on flash drive for example
