Hi Carol,
The software can be found at www.spearit.com/. By default, it will copy
everything. Every program, every file, every setting. However, there is an app
called the control center included with it, and in there you can create rule
sets which tell it what to move, what to ignore, etc.

Where is this programme available? Is it a free-be?
Tell us how it performs as it copies over your apps. Presumably you could
choose what you wanted to copy and what you wanted to leave behind ...
