Hi Michael,

Data, sure - but not programs, settings, etc. I think that you are thinking
of just basically copying the user profile to another pc and that user would
be good to go? It won't work because the SID of the user account won't match
in the new machine. What you are thinking of, I believe, is roaming
profiles, not something that is normally employed by home users.

Rick,
Would File and Transfer Settings copy user account information?
