I think she's saying she needs to move all the files from her laptop computer onto her desktop computer?
To the OP, when you say files, are you talking about documents and photos and stuff? Or applications as well?
If it's just files, you could use an EHD. I don't know if that's the fastest way but since you already know how to do it, it might be the simplest way. You can also copy files over your local network but I would recommend using a wired network for that rather than a wireless network since the wired would be faster. I think there's also a way to connect two PCs directly using a special ethernet cable but unless you have the cord handy, one of the other options might be less hassle.
In any case, I would recommend using some kind of cloning/syncing software to do the moving for you. You just choose what files you want moved and it will make sure it happens. Much easier than you having to sit there and keep an eye on it. It's been awhile since I've used a PC so I don't have any recommendations but I'm sure a google search will probably bring up some free options or maybe a PC user might chime in with a suggestion.
I would recommend make sure you have a current backup though just in case something goes wrong. You can never be too careful in my book.
