Hi all,

A quote from the kb of Easy Transfer:
You can use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer the following files and settings:
  • Files and folders
  • E-mail settings
  • Contacts and messages
  • Program settings
  • User accounts and settings
  • Internet settings and favorites
  • Music
  • Pictures and videos
Which settings does Easy Transfer exactly copy? Are all the settings you can find in the Control Panel among them?

Thanks
~Propa

The extract here is from Transferring files and settings: frequently asked questions:

Microsoft said:
You can transfer most files and program settings. Specifically:

Files and folders. Everything within the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Shared Documents folders. Using advanced options, you can select additional files and folders to transfer from other locations.

E‑mail settings, contacts, and messages.

Program settings. Settings that keep your programs configured as you had them on your old computer. Windows Easy Transfer doesn't transfer the programs themselves. Some programs might not work in this version of Windows, including security programs, antivirus programs, firewall programs (your new computer should already have a firewall running to help ensure safety during the transfer), and programs with software drivers.

User accounts and settings
. Desktop backgrounds, network connections, screen savers, Start menu options, taskbar options, folders, specific files, network printers and drives, and accessibility options.

Internet settings and favorites. Internet connection settings, favorites, and cookies.

Pictures and video. Pictures—which includes any visual format (for example, .jpg, .bmp, and .gif files)—and personal videos.

Music. Electronic music files, playlists, and album art.

Hope it answers your question. Good luck with migrating!

Thanks. Anyhow, I'm just reinstalling, so I'll only take the User Accounts and Settings option to save me from another customizing part.
