- **Access control lists.** USMT migrates ACLs for specified files and folders from computers running both Windows® XP and Windows Vista. For example, if you migrate a file named File1.txt that is read-only for User1 and read/write for User2, these settings will still apply on the destination computer after the migration.
**Important**
To migrate ACLs, you must specify the directory to migrate in the MigUser.xml file. Using file patterns like \*.doc will not migrate a directory. The source ACL information is migrated only when you explicitly specify the directory. For example, `<pattern type="File">c:\test docs</pattern>`.

## <a href="" id="bkmk-2"></a>Supported applications
Although it is not required for all applications, it is good practice to install all applications on the destination computer before restoring the user state. Installing applications before migrating settings helps to ensure that the migrated settings are not overwritten by the application installers.
**Note**  
The versions of installed applications must match on the source and destination computers. USMT does not support migrating the settings of an earlier version of an application to a later version, except for Microsoft Office.
**Note**  
USMT migrates only the settings that have been used or modified by the user. If there is an application setting on the source computer that was not touched by the user, the setting may not migrate.
