And the magic question is... What OS are you running?

documents and settings

drag them from user folder to user folder (or copy /paste)

you can also use shared folders as a universal dumping ground

He could be running beOS.... LOL

ok, yea you are going to have to use a shared folder for a middle man because your user does not have access to the other users stuff. Make a folder in the root called outgoing and share it to everyone, then drop all the files, settings etc into that, then switch users and take those files and put them where you want them.

Obviously a windows user, otherwise he'd know how to transfer files usually, or if he was using linux he'd be reading up on it himself.

Mine did that. They started working again, somehow. Not sure what the problem was though.
