transfer settings

Our old computer XP died and we got a new Vista one. The old HD was put in as
a second data drive. How do I transfer internet favorites and other settings
to the new drive(with Vista OS on it). The old drive has XP on it.

The internet shortcuts in their old XP folder will drag into the new favs
folder.

Add Take Ownership to right-click menu in Vista:
