I'm about to upgrade from home to pro and was wondering if I use the "files
and settings transfer wizard" will that actually create a copy of all my
documents on my computer system (of course I need to specify what types of
files), but lets say Quark files, or Photoshop files, will the wizard know to
back-up these files?

Also, after the upgrade, I want to keep all my programs, settings, etc, that
was originally on the desktop and installed on the system. I will eventually
be connecting to our server and it will ask me for the domain, and more
importantly, the part where it asks if you want to keep the settings from the
previous user accounts listed in the dropdown box. If I chose the previous
account, still the documents and programs are not there after reboot and
login as a new user on the newly connected server. I don't want to have to
reload all of the programs for this user.

Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

Buy Upgrade. Setup defaults to the Upgrade option.
