Any advice as to the best way to copy app data, etc., from my old XP PC to my new Winows 7 machine? Obviously, I don't want to clone the old drive. Thanks for your ideas!
As far as just getting your data over, just take out the old drive, isntall it as a secondary drive in the new system, and copy the files over. If you have a newer drive in the XP system you can even leave all of your files where they are, and redirect your My Documents to that drive where your files are already.
