How to transfer ring tones from old PC itunes library to new PC itunes library

I have upgraded my computer and am in the process of importing the music, apps, audiobooks, etc from my old computer & iTunes library to my new computer. I am using the HomeShare feature to do the import and it has worked flawlessly for everything except ringtones. When I access my ringtones in the old library, the "Import" button does NOT appear in the lower right hand corner like it does for music, apps, etc. So, how then do I transfer my ringtone library from the old iTunes library to the new one??? Thanks for any and all help.

Windows XP

Unfortunately iTunes won't let you just "Copy" and "Paste" out of the library. However, you can drag and drop files from your library into a USB drive and then drag and drop them from the USB drive into the new library.

This is not the best way to do it,

As dieselvdub noted, just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Then is is an exact duplicate of the old library (same ratings, artwork, playlists, date added, # plays, etc.), not just a new library with all content
