I have two computers, one is XP that has been down for a few months and one has 2000 which I was using full time when the other one was down. The XP is fixed and ready to go but I want to get some info from the 2000 to the XP. Here's the kicker, the XP does not have a floppy drive (that would be too easy, don't ask) and I have since found out that the XP network connection wizard will not work with the 2000. I am considering using a USB connection to connect the two computers. Here's my question, how much and what type of files will I be able to transfer? Example, I have been using Quicken 2003 on the 2000, if I connect using a USB will I be able to transfer all my updated information to the XP computer? I'm sorry I'm not very computer savy so I hope this makes sense. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks very much
