rod03801: "Stuff on Desktop, etc."

Well, what's shown on your desktop is just the content of the folder %HOMEPATH%\Desktop. You can just copy it from, for example,

C:\Documents and Settings\rod1\Desktop

C:\Documents and Settings\rod2\Desktop

You can do that with your documents from "My Documents" as well. And for some applications this will work if you copy what's in %APPDATA%

C:\Documents and Settings\rod1\Application Data

Christoph Daum: Thank you... That sounds pretty easy..

And this puts the icons on the screen automatically too?

You'll have to pardon me, I'm a "newbie" to having my own computer at home. (I've used plenty, at work, friends' etc...) When you say "copy" it, what does that process involve? (I'm sure it's nothing like copy and pasting text! LOL)

You mention the desktop, my documents, and possibly some applications. Is there anything else I might not be thinking of that I would want to bring over from it?
