I have moved all my project data folders to a new computer. However it did not contain the queries and plugins that I had on the old PC. I forgot to export the settings etc which would probably have included them. I am running V5, where can I find the queries and plugins stored as I have an image backup and can retrieve them from this image if I know where to look.

Queries and Plugins
Take a look at:

as it varies depending on the OS of the old computer.

It is too late for Pentris, but for anyone moving FH V5 from PC to PC, there is the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings Plugin, that simplifies the task.
Simply run it in BACKUP mode on the old PC to put everything you need in your Project folder.
Transfer your Project folder including GEDCOM, Media & Backups, etc, from old PC to new PC, using Windows Easy Transfer is one method
Then run the Plugin in RESTORE mode and it resets all your Preference settings and customised Diagrams, Reports, Plugins, Icons, etc, etc as they were on old PC.
Even with an image backup of the old PC it is difficult to recover the FH Tools > Preferences settings and the default primary Standard Diagram settings, because they are stored in the Windows Registry.
