Files and Settings Transfer Wiz - issues??

[Guest]

Hi, we've got about a 3+ year old Windows 2000 computer that we wanted to get
some of the documents, info, and hopefully settings to a brand new Windows
XPP computer. I started the File and Settings Transfer Wiz -- but then
wondered if I might be bringing any cruft... bad files, anything to slow down
or mess up the XPP install. Antivirus and spyware tools were used regularly
on the Win 2000 box - but I wondered if anything this Wiz does can bring over
some unwanted baggage? Any precautions?
Thanks in advance - Dodge

The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard only migrates
your own personal files and settings. It does not migrate
any previous system files.
