my buddy has been using xp for over a year and he wants to migrate all of his iexplerer setting like the passwords and username to either a reinstall of xp or a new install of win 2003 server. is there a section of the registry that is related to these settings? I know that alot of it is probably cookie that controls that but is there a way to migrate that or is it all conected to some global GUID?

The User State Migration Tool (USMT) copies user settings, files, and documents. Then you restore these settings on the new machine so users do not have to reconfigure their desktop settings. It works best for XP and Windows 2000 Professional clients and you do need the client machine to be connected to a domain controller.
 
There are two command line utilities scanstate and loadstate that control the procedure.
 
 
Check your local resource kit

I realize the above link is older than XP/2003 but the product has gone through the necessary upgrades.
 
Then again there is always this option ... built into XP
