Quick question -
How to move Documents and Settings User Folders to another PC?

I have several users getting new pc's today, and all I need to move over
from their old machines is their user folders in Documents and Settings. Is
there an easy or correct way of doing this? I know there is a way moving
the D&S folder to another Drive, I just don't know it's possible moving them
to another pc without fouling things up.

thanks in advance.

As far as I know, as long as the user's account name stays the same
you can just copy them straight over. There is also the files and
settings transfer wizard which will automate the whole process.
