How do I transfer all of my files from an old computer to a new one easily?

I just bought a new computer and I have a lot of things that I need to transfer over. I have the same OS (Windows XP) on both of them, is there an easy way, software, etc that just does this through a wire and a click of a button?

I would recommend the tool that comes with windows XP, both on the XP install CD and located in the start -> programs -> accessories -> system tools -> file and settings transfer wizard. this (as it says in the name) is a wizard that will walk you through backing up all your important date and settings so that you can keep working on a new PC, the wizard allows you to either direct connect to the other PC using a serial cable or by creating a file that contains all your settings and documents, one thing the program will not do is copy your programs.

Have a look at SyncToy here at Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using...) It is small and it is free. You can set up sync scenarios like "copy every change from the left folder to the right folder", "include deletions" etc. Very flexible.
