Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

I have 4 users on the desktop (XP) and would like to move one user's
data from the desktop to a new laptop (Vista)

I have the one user's Docs and Settings backed up on a external hard
drive.

Is it possible to just "restore" the user's Docs and Settings from the
external hard drive to the new Vista laptop??
