You could also look into the file & settings transfer wizard - and
select just what you wanted. Or you could show them how to customize
their interface. Or if you're using XP Pro you can use group policy
settings to control a number of things, such as display settings,
Windows firewall settings, and so forth and so on.

Thank you, Lanwench -- good ideas. I need to get familiar with FAST
anyway, so I'll give it a try.

It's pretty easy to use, as I recall; nothing much to go pear-shaped. Just
don't copy the documents; just settings. I think it's a separate checkbox.


Thank you very much for any thoughts.

PS: "Task" is a noun. Verbing wierds language, as Calvin (of Hobbes)
said. :-)

But wanted to share this with you:

From Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictonary:
Task(1): Noun ...
Task(2): Transitive Verb
1 : to assign a task to, (employees tasked with updating the files)
2 : to impose a tax on (obsolete)
3 : to oppress with great labor, (tasks his mind with petty details)
:-)

Crap, I hate to admit it, but you're right. Even worse, this dreadful
construction has, apparently, been around for a while!
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/t.html . In your original
sentence, "tasked" adds nothing that "asked" would not more simply convey,
and hence I still side with Calvin.

I strongly recommend "The Dictionary of Corporate Bulls__t" for some highly
entertaining reading. It's available Everywhere Books Are Sold, or something
close to it.
