Have a new computer? Let software do the hard work of moving files for you

Got that spiffy new (Windows) machine? Cool. Vista? Nice. Wait, what about your old one? Got stuff on there? Well as GHacks reminds us, Windows has some great migration tools on both XP and Vista:
It is possible to transfer the following information:
- User Accounts
- Folders and Files
- System Settings
- E-Mails and other personal information
The process is pretty simple. You select which files, folder and settings you want to transfer and how you want to transfer them. Options are to burn them on a DVD or CD, store them on a removable drive, transfer them over a network or use an Easy Transfer Cable.
This Easy transfer cable thing, I keep a handy cross-over cable handy, not to mention hubs and other stuff. I think I’ll have to delve into that in another post.
