I used the Windows XP File and Settings Transfer Wizard to copy off my
information prior to upgrading to Windows 7. Since Windows 7 uses a new tool
called Easy Transfer and does not recognize the old file, is there anyway to
bring back the old settings?

Thanks,

Jim

And do NOT use WET to transfer Outlook data. (If you have Outlook...)

If there's only one (1) identity and it is not the default Main Identity (or
is not a renaming of the Main Identity), FAST will work...kinda/sorta. But
why take chances?

Precisely - the problem seems to be that WET gives NO warning that
transferring Outlook and OE data via it will probably cause problems...
