Question : Problem: Selective Restore using Windows Easy Transfer

I have used the Windows Easy Transfer to backup my old pc before moving to a new one.

This was not my primary backup.  I also copied all the data onto a 2nd Hard Drive.  After setting up my computer I copied the data using the primary backup (i.e. Hard Drive copy)

But I am missing a couple of files and folders.  So, is it possible to use Windows Easty Transfer to selectively restore some settings and not everything???

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Selective Restore using Windows Easy Transfer

As I say, I haven't tried Easy Transfer, so I cannot verify that the option for Custom transfer is there.  And my old computer isn't even connected up any more, and there is no room for me to do it and try.  But, as to why you weren't offered the option:

Well, that is a pretty old article, which MAY have been written for a beta version of Windows Vista...  Did you check that all the other screens are as shown in the article?   What type of transfer did you do:  over the network, a USB pc-to-pc cable, or removable media?
