    The easiest way to accomplish this is to use software to transfer files between the two. PC Linq from Prolific Technology is a good one if you can find it. Most USB A to A cables come with some kind of software.

    Good luck.

    I also have what I think is an ethernet cable (looks like a phone cable but the ends are narrower), if this can help my situation on transferring files from my computer to my laptop.

    Thanks

    You can connect your two 'puters together using a CAT cable, providing it is a crossover cable. Advice here.
    I think you need a special USB cable - the one I have used in the past has a module included about halfway down the length -e.g.

    I've still had no look.

    Is there not just a simple way I can use my usb a-a cable to transfer files.

    Thanks

    Check out PC Relocator - 3 day free trial of the software.

    For more possibilities Google for 'usb file transfer'.
