P.S. My Belkin came w/a disc and in the center of the cable it had a big hump like a turtle shell, don't know if I need a special cable or not.

If the files are not too big they could be attached to email which you could send to yourself and picked up on the destination PC. This solution assumes internet connectivity.
USB Device:
As Cracker Jack & Willy mentioned you could use jump drives (memory stick type device in usb port).
If you have a digital camera, you could use it instead of the jump drive (to save the cose of the jump drive if not owned already)
CD/DVD:
If your PC can burn a CD or DVD...
Network:
If you plan to run both machines and are thinking of having both access to the Internet, get a router (cheap 20 to 40 bucks). Configure Vista to share the needed drive and have the other access it.

I couldn't wait any longer so I got a Pc for the office.
HP Pavilion
Monitor-w2338h - 23" - Full HD 1080p LCD
Model-a6863w - with VISTA but a FREE upgrade to MS7
7gig memory
750 HD
AMD Phenom x4 - 9150e Quad core processor
64 bit
Dvd burner etc.
Got it cheap cause they wanted to get rid of the VISTA and it was the last one.
Now what to do w/the free upgrade to 7 for this PC. My L-top is still Vista

I found my Belkin cable but the disc says it is for XP-VISTA transfer. I'm gonna try it w/out the disc and see if I can again

Rollbar I used the "easy transfer cable" and ran windows easy transfer. If your upgrading to win 7 you'll have to download the new drivers for the cable and easy transfer. make sure you transfer to "C" drive and not the virtual D drive, I've heard ugly things happen if you do this!

You didn't quote the unix thingy but...
These are server client technologies that are used to make transferring data easier which can be automated. They are not overly complicated, but winblows does try to make things as difficult as possible as usual. If you run an ssh server ( can be installed on winblows ), you can transfer files with a simple command. The point n click stuff just doesn't compare.
The way is is done. Of coarse a one time file transfer may not warrant this time wise.
On winblows.
1. Run ssh server.
2. From the second winblows machine simply transfer the files over.
ex. scp $FILES $WINBLOWS_COMPUTER.
3. Done.
Or ...
With the ssh server installed you could use rsync to transfer the file. It works hand in hand with ssh and uses it's secure channel to do so.
ex.
rsync $FILES $WINBLOWS_COMPUTER
Also this can be automated to transfer files, directories and any given time scheduled or not scheduled. Theses technologies work and work well just ask Google.
If you are really interested, I would spend some time discussing it with you offline or online. Remember that just because windows does a certain does not mean it is the best way

I would prefer to discuss it right here on my post/topic (which I can edit the title post if needed for future.
Thanks,

Anyone have a clue as to why when I checked the box for it to transfer?
I have a ton of info and would like to keep it/folders (inbox, sent, etc)

Your email file is hidden deep within your profile
It is usually "C:\Users\ <your user name> \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook"
If not try "C:\Users\ <your user name> \AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Outlook"
or "C:\Users\ <your user name> \AppData\Roamin\Microsoft\Outlook"
It is a .pst file.

So If I type those things in I can transfer the e-mail and folder groups I have on the side (OUTLOOK). So I pull those up and then what! Or How do I transfer those.
Thanks everyone.

in that path you should find files like Outlook.pst, mailbox.pst or some other name .pst
simply transfer that file to you new PC and open it with outlook

So do I type in MISSCONFIG or just type those in on the START bar on VISTA?

You have to get to those files using whatever file transfer tool yo are using. I can't help there because I have never used those tools. I always use either a CD/DVD or a thumbdrive (USB Memory device)
It is like getting to your MS Word files or MS Excel files just at that specific location in your hard drive.
