XP File Transfer to Vista
Hi, I'm sure a lot of other users will suffer from the same problem as me either now or in the future. When using a new computer with Vista I wanted to transfer all my Voda image files, pics,and design images from XP to Vista.
In XP these were saved under " Documents And Settings" and my existing Voda website constructed using XP automatically looks for them under this file heading.
The obvious solution is to make up a new file in Vista named "Documents And Settings" however, Vista will not let me create a file named Documents And Settings without it automatically adding "John/users" as a prefix. This means that using Vista, my website can't identify all my existing Voda images and pic files for my site as it looks for Documents And Settings and not John/Users/Documents And Settings.
Is there a way of creating a "Documents And Settings" file in Vista without it automatically adding the prefix John/Users ??
Somebody on the forum suggested saving all XP files as Templates but as I have over 100 files with numerous links I don't know if this would create even more issues when I want to publish or ammend an existing file. It also would mean a lot of work saving all the various pages and files.
If anyone has a simple solution I would be very greatful to see it as I'm sure would other users who have changed from XP to Vista.
Many thanks
