The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard is located in Start, All programs, Accessories, System Tools. I suggest you read the Help (start button, Help and Search) on " Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to see what can be moved. I always move my OE settings and mail this way. But there is much more that can be moved easily.
