In part one of this tutorial we stored our files and settings on a network drive. Now let me show you how to transfer them to your new computer.
To verify we are using the same version of migwiz.exe put your XP disc into the drive and it should auto launch. Choose “Perform additional tasks”.
Next choose Transfer files and settings.
The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST) will launch. Click Next.
Leave the default selection of “New Computer” Then click Next.
Since we put the FAST image up on the network we can select “I don’t need the Wizard Disk…” Then Next.
Point the FAST Wizard to the network location or removable media where your USMT2.UNC image is stored and hit Next.
Now your files and settings will be installed on your new computer. After the transfer has completed click Next.
Sometimes files will not transfer with FAST so you need to transfer a file or two manually which this image shows. Everything else transferred that I selected. So from here just click on Finish.
Finally you will be asked to reboot. After rebooting your all done!

I personally cannot stand the “bread crumb” toolbar Microsoft makes us use as a default. I really wish this was an option to enable or disable. I see a lot of praise for this new feature with people saying “it makes navigation extremely fast” … Am I alone here? Am I the only one who sees no
Many people like myself don’t completely trust the various WordPress spam filters and elect to moderate all comments before they show up on the actual site, which ends up flooding your email with moderation notices.
