As you all know by now I'm computer stupid. This is todays problem. My desktop computer is the sort you have to strike a flint to fire it up and it's still on Windows XP which is no longer supported.
 
For whatever reason it's running really slow so I bought a nice (second hand) new one which is on Windows 7.
 
Now what I want to do is transfer my "My documents" folder to the new one so I bought a memory stick (32G). I tried draggging it across to the memory stick but it just shows as a "shortcut to My Documents" and has a size of just 1kb.
 
What have I done wrong and how do I rectify it.
 
Thanks in advance.

I think you need to do the following:

go to My Documents

right-click and "select all"

then right-click and "copy"

go to the memory stick

right-click and "paste"

If you are not using your old one anymore, you could just add the old hard drive to your new desktop and you would've access to all the files :)
