Outlook Express v.6
IE v.6
Windows XP

Hopefully, that's enough information..

I now have my wife's computer tied to a local network.. I assume that is the
correct term. IOW, we are both linked to the internet thru a wireless link
tied to my router. Sorry, I'm not a whiz bang at this.

Before we did this.. she used my computer and saved files in OE that she
would like to have on her computer. Is there a simple way to transfer these
various folders to her OE? Maybe it could easily be done with the Admin
function of XP.. but, I'm not there yet either.

Also, she has a number of Favorites/bookmarks in IE that she would like on
her computer. Is there a way to transfer those?

Thank you in advance..

The File and Settings Transfer Wizard is started by clicking on Start, then
all Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, then File and settings
transfer wizard. Once it is started, it explains itself step by step. It
doesn't get any simpler. EXCEPT it is likely to copy ALL Your data to her
computer. So it might need some cleanup after running it if you have
personal stuff you don't want copied to her system.

The other option would be to locate the files manually and copy them. Not
impossible, but if you already are connected via a switch (or router) it's
easier. If you want to try it this way instead, just ask...
