Must admit I have zero experience with Easy Transfer. That said, if some of
your docs were copied to your documents folder, you might want to check to
see if Easy Transfer created folders that replicate the folders from the
"old" computer. Does your Vista PC match the drive setup on your XP box? (Or
W2K, you didn't say which OS was on your old computer...) Meaning, if your
XP box has C: and D: drives, does your Vista box also have C: and D: drives?
(Again... my zero experience with Easy Transfer leaves me at a
disadvantage... I don't know if ET will create a "special" folder for docs
that came from a drive letter that doesn't exist on the new Vista box.)

Hmm... as to "undo-ing" ET... I don't know if ET moves files or copies them.
I would hope the latter. Are the docs you -did- find on your Vista box still
on the old computer?
