Is there a good tool to do a complete backup of your XP settings, Outlook
Express, Internet Explorer ect ect.. and even personal files,( which I could
easily just do manually.)
I've used some third party software when moving from one xp machine to
another..
 
With a program like Ghost... can you do the backup in XP and then get your
setting into Vista?
 
Sorry, forgot an important part to my question... This backup would be to
move onto Vista..

Use the Windows Easy Transfer Utility (WET) to migrate settings and data
from an XP installation to a Vista installation. WET hasn't always worked
flawlessly in all situations so don't rely on it as your only means of
backing up data. Always have a full backup aside from WET to which you can
go to manually transfer data if WET doesn't work out.
