View Full Version : File and settings transfer wizard and multiple users

I am currently using Win XP Home and I would like to
clean install Win XP Pro. My computer is setup with 5
user accounts, one for each member in my family, all
administrator accounts.

To avoid all the hassle of a new start, I'd like to use
the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard utility, however,
I have one question: Is this a process that has to be
done individually for each account or the utility does it
for all accounts at once?

Thank you for your time

I do not think that the Wizard will collect the information for all
the profiles in one step. I would run it once from each user account
to be on the safe side.

Thanks for your answer Thornsten. My feeling is also
that the wizard won't do it in one step, however, I have
not been able to find out anywhere that it says so. I'll
play it safe and do the transfer form each account as you
suggested.
