Default Using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard in XP


Greetings!
I am about to do a clean reinstall of my Retail version
of XP Home and have a couple of queries on using the
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
My PC has 2 hard drives. Hard Drive one has 2 partitions:
C (System and progs) and D (My Documents etc). Hard Drive
2 is used for Backing up etc.
Following original install of XP, the "My Documents"
folder was relocated to the "D" partition using TweakUI
XP.
My queries are:
1) Will the FASTW automatically find the "My Documents"
folder on the D partition, or do I need to select it
manually?
2) There are 2 user accounts (mine is set up as
administrator). When I run the FASTW from within my logon
will it automatically collect the other users settings,
or will I have to run the wizard from within each logon
to collect that individuals settings?

I aim to save the collected files and settings on Hard
Disc 2, reformat Partition C on Hard Drive 1, reinstall
XP, then transfer back the various settings. Even though,
in theory, I shouldn't affect Partition D (containing My
Docs and Email messages)I want to back them up to a
separate Drive, just in case!

Many thanks for any help

Charlieh
