Re:upgrading from xp

Hi,



If it's an upgrade, you don't need to transfer them. I would still back them

up as a precaution, but an upgrade carries over the user profile, data, and

programs.

Re:upgrading from xp

You might want to try Windows Easy Transfer. Click Start and enter "Windows

Easy Transfer" in the search box. Link to program should appear above. A

description of the prgram is given in the Vista Help if you need more info

before trying it.
