How to migrate user settings from SVS packages

Does anyone know if there is any tool or technique to easily transfer the per-user settings and registry data captured in an SVS package to the current user on another machine? I was thinking that perhaps there a way to change the GUID that Windows assigns to a user, but couldn't find anything to accomplish this.
Extract user settings
Search on the juice with the search query Flex.
I posted a article about this several months ago.
In September i'm bringing a new console to the market that has this included as a click to go option.

Another way to preserve
Another way to preserve user settings is to use Res Powerfuse (http://www.ressoftware.com).
Powerfuse allows you to preserve user settings cross platform and technologies, in other words this works the same way for Virtualized apps as for normal installed apps.

You don't have to sped money if you don't want to...
If you don't feel like spending money, you can also write a script, as we have, that runs at logoff, that copies the user part of writable layers to the user profile.
Once it is part of the user profile, it is copied to the users' network profile location automatically by Windows.
On logon, we simply copy the settings back from the user profile to the writable layer.
I you want to know more, just say so and I'll explain further.
