Bill,

Thanks for your advice. I copied the file from the old pc and tried to
place in the new pc without success. Although I have administrator right on
my account, I cannot access the contents of Documents and Settings folder.
Do I need to do something different from Windows XP in order to access the
contents of that folder?

Thanks,

Scott
