I have a fantastic little program called "Transit 2" which I found in KL Impi Plaza a few years ago. So bloodey p!ss easy to setup and use instead of going through that bloodey complicated Microsoft direct cable conection crap.
Simpley install the program on both computers (takes 2 minutes) connect the cable and off you go. Also it has its own "make disk" so you can copy the setup program onto 2 floppys for the other computer setup. Click and drag files or folders from one disk to another.
I can email the program in Zip format to anyone who wants it in 2 emails: 1st setup part (unzipped) is 1.22MB, the other 955KB.
