This has become one of the harder things to do in recent versions of windows. Back in the old days of win95 it Just Worked, but lately it's tricky. The last time I tried to make it happen on freshly configured systems, I gave up and sneakernetted the stuff I needed to transfer.

Perhaps somewhere there's an online guide to getting that working? Ask uncle google.
