I want to move my email, favorite websites, etc., from my old computer to the new one I just bought from Denny here on the boards. I can't remember what I need to move. Any help or pointers to a site that has the info?

BTW, I love my new machine with my new Radeon card I bought for it. Games look glorius. This PC is my new best friend. Unfortunately, before he shipped it to me the fiendish Denny went into Windows setup and named it...Koontz! That's right, it's the most respected PC on these boards, by far!

Also, the keyboard is white yet the mouse is black. Denny needs some fashion help. I'm thinking Queer Eye on the PC Guy needs to give him a makeover.

Otherwise, it's a great PC, though I have this strange urge to install and play flight sims. It's probably haunted. He probably sent me the Christine of PCs.

Congrats on your new buddy, Koontz!

For transfering your stuff over, there is a wizard that does that for you. Here's instructions:

Go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. That will bundle all your stuff into a file you can send over the network to the new rig.

To quote Derek Smart... "LOL! ROTFLMAO!"

You forgot to mention that the PC case itself is beige, with a grey CD-RW drive as a visual accent. It all works together as an ensemb. "Never match denims -- it starts to look like armor."

Otherwise, it's a great PC, though I have this strange urge to install and play flight sims. It's probably haunted.
When I start to read reviews of RPGs and adventure games written by you complaining about the lack of dynamic campaigns, my job is done.
