Default file transfer to computer with XP

I just purchased a computer running XP and need to
transfer all data files from the ME computer. How can I
do that? XP seems to have a file transfer capability from
XP to XP, but how can I do it from ME to XP? Thanks.

Use XP's Files And Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST) which works on Win Me.
For a discussion of FAST and what it can do see Gary Woodruff's article at

Thanks, this helps and has me headed in the right
diretion. However, I cannot get the two computers to
recognize each other. I have connected them with a CAT 5e
crossover cable and have tried to set up a network. I
gave the workgroup the same name on each and have named
each computer individually. The XP computer does not show
the ME computer on the network. When viewing the network
connections screen on the XP, it does seem to know when
the ME computer is on or off. When on, it shows 'limited
or no connectivity'. When off, it shows 'network cable
unplugged'. I have rebooted both computers. What could I
be missing? Thanks.

Have you run the Networking Wizard on the XP box - and disabled the firewall
on the Ethernet connection?

Thanks. Yes, I had run the networking wizard and I have
disabled the firewall in XP and also disable Norton
Internet Security, would those be the Ethernet connection
firewalls? I tried again to set-up another LAN with a
different name, but that one doesn't even appear in the
network connections window. I have rebooted both
computers again. but still no change.
