 Can I hook my laptop up to my desktop via a USB cable in order to transfer
files between them?

Thanks
Boze

Yes! And they sell cables which includes software to make this easy.
Usually in the $25 to $60 range.

Thanks. I didn't know if it would cause a glitch since the laptop isn't a
USB device like a camera or IPod.
I appreciate the help

You could do it for just the price of a crossover cable if both machines
have network cards, no software needed. Put both in the same workgroup,
share the files you want to transfer and copy them from the other pc.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary for both machines to be in
the same workgroup.
