I want to move to a new PC and take my Toad connections with me because I have a few and don't want to retype them all.
Toad settings are located in the Application Data Directory (click the Application Data Directory link in Help | About to open the directory) and store personal layouts, customizations, log files, and other information.
In Toad, it is effortless to create a new connection, in fact, you no need to add a new connection, you just log in to the Oracle database using Toad, and it will save that connection information for future use.
Copy the %APPDATA%\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files folder to your new PC.
Ie.
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files
Beware: In older versions of Toad "Dell" in the path above used to be "Quest Software".
You have to save your tnsnames.ora files of your respective oracle installations. Also, I believe TOAD uses the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to locate the TNS_NAMES.ORA it is using.
