User profile migration XP/Vista/Windows 7

My client was recently taken over by another company and as such all of the network infastructure was migrated over to a new Active Directory domain. As ever the instructions provided the "IT team" fell miserably short of what was required for a smooth transition. Namely, they offered no way of migrating your user profile, so our old AD accounts were disabled and then we had to login to our new accounts and face a blank profile (i.e registry / software nightmares as well as any customisations you may of had / etc.) - so I went Googling' and came across this:

Worked flawlessly first time and it's free. Very nice product and highly reccomended.
