Easy Trasnfer - miscellaneous locations?

I'm going to upgrade my Vista machine and re-load the OS, so I'm using easy
transfer to move my data and settings.

I would like to know what files are included when the "include miscellaneous
locations" location is selected.

In my case, this includes about 4GB of data! I don't want to miss anything,
but this seems excessive.

Andre,

Thank you for the response, but none of the URLs you provided me cover my
question of what exactly is copied when you select "Miscellaneous locations"

Is there any way to preview what will be transferred?

This article should provide you with that information;

ANdre,

Thank you again for your reply.

Unfortunately the article you pointed me to had no mention of the
"miscellaneous locations" selection.

Jost to re-state, I'm moving from Vista to Vista and I know how to use Easy
Transfer to accomplish the move. I'm just trying to figure out what the 4GB+
of files are when I select the "miscellaneous locations." Without it
selected, Easy Transfer shows that 1.2GB of data fill be transferred, with it
selected it's over 5GB.
