Susan, system restore does not alter documents. If you have all your docs in
an external hard drive, you could have copied them straight into Vista, by
plugging the external drive into Vista.
I would still be advising you to organise your docs on the old computer and
copy to CD.

As for your IE settings, I would redo them in vista.
