Several ways:
1.) 4GB flash drive
2.) External USB drive (320GB or more)
3.) Burn CD or DVD on the desktop and copy to the laptop
4.) Connect them in a local or ad hoc network (not too easy)
I'm sure other expers will have more ideas...
Anyway, at the desktop, run the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to gather your desktop info, such as favorites, desktop icons, My Documents, etc:
[Start]
[All Programs]
[Accessories]
[System Tools]
[Files and Transfer Wizard] [Next]
At the desktop, answwer [Old Computer] [Next]
Cintinue to answer the questions
If you have a lot of music or loots of pictures, then just transfer the "Settings Only".
After a successful transfer of the settings, run the wizard again and transfer your "Data Only"
Hope this gets you started.
The easiest way is to use a USB Thumb Drive. Buy yourself a 8 MB thumb or sometimes called a flash drive or jump drive. Just drag & drop the files you want to transfer onto the drive. Then put the drive in the new computer and upload the data.
