I'm getting a replacement computer at work (notebook)

I've heard tale of a program to help you transfer over important files / settings
(I've got a mess of custom settings in various software, not to mention having to reload all the 'registration' crap.

so how bout it, anything really out there to help a guy out?

Well XP has a file and settings transfer wizard that you can use.

I've only used it a few times myself with no luck.
YMMV

In XP there is a “Files and Setting Transfer Wizard” that will transfer important files and settings. It is not meant to transfer working programs.

As far as that “registration crap” I assume you mean when installing software… You are better off just installing the software than trying to transfer it and then trying to get it to then run worth a damn.

Aloha Bob PC Relocator...works pretty good, does apps and/or everything else. I have had really good and just ok results.

Have your IT guy take an image of yours before, just in case...
