This is not a htpc question, but since you all are so smart and helpfull, and since Sub has all the bugs worked out and you are bored...Big Grin

I am putting together a very basic new PC for my mom who has an old emachine now. I need to ship it to her and have her set it up. Her needs are very simple and she only has basic data on her system like outlook express files, WAB and word docs. Is there a free utility program out there that I can preload on her system that will make it easy for her to do the migration? I can talk her through it, but it would be easier with a utility (I think).

I think windows has a built in migration tool (file and settings transfer wizard), but I am not sure how well it works.

I suppose it all depends on how good your mum is with computers. Since popping over to see her and install it yourself appears not to be an option, my first thought would be to establish some sort of remote control over the emachine - windows remote support or LogMeIn or similar...
