Larry,

If you go a little deeper into the registry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\5.0\Options\Intellidrop\FieldTypes you can just export those settings to a .reg file. Then you just double-click the .reg on the other computer to import the keys for the field types. That way you don't have to worry about changing all your other VFP keys.
