The one thing I'm curious about is this. Why the dragging and dropping of
folders?

Do this, create a new user account in XP. Switch to it. All programs will be
there but you will have to set up OE and import the mail and address book.

When you get it done, switch back to the old account. Create a folder where
you can put all the documents, data, etc into.
Give it a name of C:\Data
Right click on the folder, select Properties
Click on Sharing tab
Select Share this folder.
Click on Permissions button
Change it to Full Control.
Click OK

Now move all the documents and data into this folder.
When done, log out of that account.
Log into new account.
Start fresh.

Sound like worth doing?
