443457 2006-04-03 11:02:00 If you're talking about programs that have already been installed, I wouldnt copy them.

I would say they wouldnt work. As the info for whatever program, would have to be in the registry, so the program works properly. I would reinstall the program on the other computer.

If you're talking about exe files you've downloaded, I would either use a usb key, ethernet or wireless, if the computers are in the same house.

Meant to be very good, I see it being used all the time.
