The settings are stored in the Windows Registry. If you fire up
regedit, you should be able to export all the settings under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III

to a text file, then re-import them on the new machine. If you only
want the servers, the key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III\Servers

The usual caveats and disclaimers about poking around in the registry
apply - be careful and do so at your own risk.
