Is there a way of transferring en block all the Folder in My Documents from
one computer to another standing side by side? My OS is Win. Vista Business
on both
and both are similar on hardware.
 
There are a few ways to do what you want to do.

1. You can Network them if you are using a router
2. You can use a crossover cable, if you don't use a router.
3. Use Nero(or equivalent), and burn to CD.
4. Copy to memory Stick(flash drive)
5. Copy to External Hard Drive.

Here is the way to Network them.

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

Permissions/Share info is there as well.

If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall .(LAN allowed)

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames, and
passwords (they can be different) on ALL computers in your Network). If you
have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to
access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista Computer.
