    Forgive me if I'm being ignorant but..

    Do you really want to go from PRO TO HOME or did you mean the other round?? If you mean going from home to pro. Then run the files and settings transfer wizard start> all programs> accessories> systemtools.

    Hope that helped

    Just one thing to keep in mind. You need to have a newer copy of XP Pro to upgrade from Home or it won't work. For example, you can't upgrade XP Home SP2 to XP Pro SP1.
