I would like to transfer my personal settings, favorites, addressbook, etc. from my desktop to my new laptop. I am using Internet Explorer 5 and Outlook. Can someone tell me which folders/files to copy? Thanks in advance.

Please provide OS version. The location of the files depends on the version of OS being used.

Try looking in the application data folder, within that folder should be your favorites folder. Or you could just do a search for favorites.

Win2000 will have:

Outlook files in:
c:\documents and settings\loginname\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\*.*

Favorites in:
c:\documents and settings\loginname\favorites

Desktop icons/shortcuts:
c:\documents and settings\loginname\desktop

I'd suggest backing up the whole of these folders to your laptop (except only copy the desktop stuff that you need on the laptop -- you will need to install any programs separately).
