I am setting up Visual Studio 2010 on another computer and would like it to have the same extensions as the old installation. If possible it would be nice to just import a package of files or similar. Settings can be managed this way which is very useful but I was not able to find the same functionality for extensions.
TIA

If you click Extensions > Manage Extensions > Roaming Extension Manager, you will see the listed roaming Extensions. This feature will provide you with a list displaying all of your extensions installed across all of your environments and allow you to download directly from that list.
Answers. Just copy the project folder and paste it to your office computer that's all you have to do. Please keep your solution file within project folder.
Most extensions are per-user and are installed in the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Visual Studio version>\Extensions\ folder. A few extensions are administrative extensions and are installed in the <Visual Studio installation folder>\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ folder.
Yes, it is possible. You have two options.
First, you can do it on a per-user basis (for extensions that you've installed through the extension manager or by double-clicking on VSIXes). For this, you:
%localappdata%\microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions to the same directory on the new machine.The second option is to install the extensions to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions. The upside is that you don't need to Enable them all by hand, but the downside is that you won't be able to update/remove them from within VS.
