Hi Donal

If you go into MyComputer, on the C Drive there is a Documents and settings 
folder.
In here is an all users folder.  All the accounts on the PC will be in this 
folder, and as long as all your files are in the MyDocuments folder, just copy 
these user files to an external drive or to a network drive, and copy them down 
to the new PC.

When copying them to the new PC just go into the folder and copy the My 
documents folder.

Hope this is what you wanted.  As I think it is the easiest way to do this.
