Did you know that Windows XP includes a smooth way to transfer files and settings from an old computer to a new computer? Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Once the program loads, choose “Old Computer,” then choose the means that you wish to use to transfer the files (typically you might choose “Other” and save the files to disk for later transfer). Then, click Next and choose what you wish to transfer. Make sure you choose appropriately (for example, don’t bother transferring Files if you do not need to). You can click the small Checkbox below the radio boxes to specify exactly which settings you wish to move. Click next, run through any additional options (i.e. specifying specific files to move, etc.) and finish the wizard. Your new PC will be almost identical (in settings) to the one that you created the file from.
