Files and Settings Transfer Wizard NOTE: The time required to collect and transfer data depends on the amount of data collected. Times can vary from just a few minutes to several hours. The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard allows you to transfer files and settings from one computer to another (for instance, when upgrading to a new computer), even if the old computer is running an earlier operating system. You transfer the data to the new computer via a network or direct serial connection, or store it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, Zip disk, or writable CD. If a CD drive is not available, the wizard allows you to create a wizard disk to run on your old computer. For more information, see Windows Help and Support Center. Program Compatibility Wizard NOTE: If you experience problems with your operating system or other programs after performing an installation, you can use "System Restore" to return your computer to a previous stable condition. If you encounter problems running a program designed for an earlier Windows operating system, you may use the Program Compatibility Wizard to help resolve the problem. The Program Compatibility Wizard allows you to configure a program to run in an environment closer to Windows 95, Windows 98/Me, Windows NT® 4.0 with Service Pack 5, or Windows 2000. For more information, see Windows Help and Support Center. User Accounts and Fast User Switching NOTE: Fast User Switching is disabled in Windows XP Professional when the computer is a member of a computer domain. Fast User Switching allows multiple users to access the computer. After you log on to the computer with your specific settings, including the desktop and various programs, other users can log on to the computer without requiring you to first log off. New users log on and switch from your session to their own. New users can run their desktop and programs without interfering with yours. You can switch back to your desktop and programs with the original settings. For more information, see Windows Help and Support Center. Special Considerations With Fast User Switching l DVD software shuts down and requires a restart when you switch back from another user session. l Computers with low memory configurations can experience problems. The computer uses memory to keep your programs running in the background while a second user is logged on, which can cause the computer to run slowly. Fast User Switching is turned off by default on computers with less than 128 MB of RAM. Home and Small Office Networking The Network Setup Wizard provides online documentation and support for setting up a home or small office network. The new wizard automatically enables the personal firewall (see "Internet Connection Firewall"). The Network Setup Wizard includes a checklist and steps to guide you through the process of sharing resources, such as files, printers, or an Internet connection, between computers in a home or small office. For more information, see Windows Help and Support Center. Internet Connection Firewall NOTE: Enabling the Internet Connection Firewall does not reduce the need for virus-checking software.
