It is possible to transfer the following information:

• User Accounts
• Folders and Files
• System Settings
• E-Mails and other personal information

The process is pretty simple. You select which files, folder and settings you want to transfer and how you want to transfer them. Options are to burn them on a DVD or CD, store them on a removable drive, transfer them over a network or use an Easy Transfer Cable.

You should select the option to customize what is included in the transfer. This makes it possible to add folders and files to the image that is created as well as uncheck some folders or settings that you do not want to transfer.

The Easy Transfer Tool suggests to password protect the files which is a good idea unless you only use it once and delete the CD or DVD afterwards. You do need a genuine Windows XP if you want to download the software.

It is also possible to use the software on Windows Vista where it is included in every version. You could use it to transfer your Vista settings to another Vista computer for instance.
