Programs  will generally have to be installed in order to get the registy
information correctly entered.
Images should copy with no problem. Use the files and settings transfer
wizard in System tools for data, favorites and My Documents.
This was a fairly trouble-free operation on my setup, which I did from a
network. It's possible you'll have trouble with the paths, depending on how
you copied the information.

I had a Micron computer running Win 98SE.  Before I gave it away I made
floppies of My Docs, my address book,  my Favorites folder, and a file of
pictures (JPEG).

I also made CD's as follows:
                                          (1)  Various programs
                                          (2)  A combination of data files
and programs
                                          (3)  All my Outlook Express email
folders
The CD's were made using Easy CD creator.

I am getting a Dell computer running Win XP (home).  Can I simply copy the
above CD's and floppies to the C drive of this new XP computer?  If so, are
there cautions I should observe or a method/procedure I should follow?
