Assuming you're running XP... if both PC's have network adaptors, a better solution to using a USB cable to connect the two would be to use a CAT5 crossover cable. Then use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to transfer your files...

i dont beleive you can transfer via USB - you can via firewire as firewire adapters are seen as network devices. or get a crossover cable as above.

You need a special cable to do this. Check out the egg.
