I successfully transferred a user from one domain to another. It appears that the only things that didn't get transferred were the saved login in names associated with my favorites. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,

Windows saves passwords encrypted with the user's logon credentials - their user name and password. When the user's credentials change after the migration, Windows can no longer decrypt the encrypted passwords and prompts you to re-enter them. Unfortunately, there is no way around this at present.
