In Windows XP it was called "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard". It
could be run from the Windows install CD or maybe it was installed as
well. You ran it on the source machine, then on the target machine
and
it did its magic. It even carried over individual apps settings for
supported products (microsoft, adobe, etc). Did they get rid of that
tool in later versions of Windows?
No, it's still there (and improved). No idea why Stroller couldn't
find it.
I was given to believe it doesn't work under all circumstances.

It's not something I've had the time yet to dedicate to testing.
