Hi Maurice

I think the easiest way is to save your files onto
DVD or CD then load them onto your laptop. For Programs just install these 
from their original discs as if they are new. This is what I have done and 
see no reason to use any special programs to do it. Why waste your money. I 
have windows XP Home on my PC and Windows XP professional on my lap top. .

I have a new Dell Inspiron B130 XP Home OS. I want to transfer files AND 
related program applications from my Dell Dimension 2400 desk top. I'm 
looking at Laplink PC Mover and Stompsoft Easy PC Transfer. Does anyone have 
any experience or recommendations with either or both of these programs? 
Additionally, it is my understanding that these programs transfer virtually 
everything, with no selectivity by the user. Is there a program out there 
that allows the user to transfer only selected applications and files. The 
ability to transfer program applications is crucial since I don't have some 
of my older program disks. Thanks in advance for any assistance by the 
members of the forum.
