I frequently swap between my laptop and desktop and I have a batch file that copies the following files between computers.

Sierra3.cfg
Accounts.config
KeyboardShortcuts.config
TradeActivityLog.dat
GlobalSymbolSettings.xml
SCStudiesDefSettings.ini

The problem is that my windows layouts change and I have to reorganise whenever I copy. How can I copy between computers without changing the window layouts?

Window layouts of what specifically?

It sounds like this is an operating system level issue.

If you are copying those files and also copying the Chartbooks, then any changes to window sizes or positions, is being done by the operating system.

All the chart windows are within sierra chart they are not detached windows.

When I copy from my main computer (4 monitors) to my laptop, the window layout is as per my 4 monitor computer.
Then when I copy from my laptop to my main computer, all the windows are squashed together as per the laptop settings.

So I want to copy everything, EXCEPT for the chart window layout.

We do not see how we can help with this.

The window size and positions are saved and restored.
