I used the Microsoft "Easy Transfer Wizard" to move the contents of a

broken (LCD) laptop to a new one just last week. It was neither easy nor

such a great transfer. After hours of fussing with network connections

(with totally lame error messages) I was able to connect. File transfers

were successful but really slow over a high-speed connection. "1 minute

remaining" hung on the screen for the last half-hour. It provided a list

of executables to be installed once it was done, including VFP. Many

settings came over; some didn't, so you still need to do a full review of

all your software, daily use and once-in-a-blue-moon.

I think this is probably the best you can do, as the final configuration of

the Registry is not something any software (nor any person!) can predict,

as every install, de-install and update changes the Registry.

If I have to do it again, I'd snapshot the file system and simply reinstall

all the software.

Dan Freeman had it right, years ago: flatten the OS and reinstall what you

need.
